Marshall, For a while I worked in a silverware factory in the returned goods department. I did some business with the Wanamaker Co. of Philadelphia. They were, as I remember, a large store selling many kinds of things like Macy's. I imagine that they made a deal with a piano manufacturer to put the Wanamaker name on the fallboard. > Tom Gorley > Registered Piano Technician > On Aug 30, 2011, at 4:48 PM, Marshall Gisondi wrote: > Hi Everyone, > My wife and I were in an ice cream shop today, and the owner mentioned to me that he as a Wanimaker piano which was made by the Schomacker company of Philadelphia, Wanamaker bought Schomacker. He mentioned to us that he couldn't find anywhere inside the piano where the "insides" were made. I'm assuming he meant the action. Did Schomacker make their own grand piano actoins even after Wanamaker bought them, or were their actions made by another manufacturer?
