Yes, and they also built some decent Chickerings, Mason & Hamlins and
Knabes. All in their original factories.

But we were discussing the "Henry F Miller" pianos of the 1960s. These, and
most of the other mis-labeled junk coming out of the Memphis factory bore
no resemblance whatsoever to the original instruments.
