Miller Pianos reply

[James Grebe]

Hi,
    The Henry F. Miller pianos of the turn of the century  are likened to
the more modern thing with the same name is not a fair comparison.
 Aeolian -American used the Miller name along with Poole, Ivers & Pond,
Vose, and a host of others for their cheapest pianos.  The early ones were
decent pianos.
