I believe the Kincaid piano company, makers of arguably the worst "peeanohs" in
the world including the spinets and consols they marketed under the name
"grand", had a piano they named after a composer. I can't recall who at the
moment, Beethoven, Chopin, or some such thing. I never saw a piano made from
this company that wasn't beyond firewood when it was new. The soundboards were
literally a piece of plywood and no two tuning pins were ever drilled at the
same angle. The tone quality... Peeew!
