Falcone pianos

[alan forsyth]

I would love to write a dissertation on corporate profit and shareholder greed,  or the scandalous mercenary attitudes of monopolistic megalithic multinational conglomerates, but I won't!

   He (Santi Falcone) managed enough financial backing to purchase an old shoe factory on Duncan Street in Haverhill, and continued building very high-quality hand-manufactured pianos (serial #s 1000- 1200) before a need for finances rendered him unable to continue without taking the company "public".  This is when a disastrous blow befell the company.  In need of financing, Santi Falcone was "consumed", by  1% (51% ownership) in 1989 and offered the opportunity by its new owners to remain as a "technician"-- destroying all his dreams of building instruments that rival Steinway, Fazioli, and the other greats.
