Chickering & Sons

[Paul T Williams]

Ahhhhhhh,  even more enlightened now...(remember rebuilding the desk for 
me years ago in Aberdeen???)

Even more corectively standing. Still.. the newer ones...a crude 
instrument at best compared to the Chickering of old....(Those still were 
piano to piano good or fare... I liked my 1919 quarter grand, sold it 
restrung for a good price, installed hammers a few years later and was 
still actually pretty nice.  great bass!)

Yes, with the exception that Wurlitzer owned the name for a few years in 
between. That, incidentally, is how Baldwin ended up with the Chickering 
name. Baldwin bought Wurlitzer.

Thanks Del, 

I remembered that a few minutes after I sent my last message. Am I correct 
that Aeolian made them before the 80's? 

Standing corrected.

Chickering has been a brand name owned by Baldwin since the late 1980s.

A few years ago, I think it was Young Chang that started putting out 
Chickerings, although I only saw small grands in the store I used to work 
for.  Don't know about nowadays.
