|   Hello to All:
| 
|      Otto Wissner left Germany in 1869 to come
| to American to learn to build pianos in the American
| way.  He found employment with George Steck and
| then with Fred Mathusheck.  It is any wonder that he 
| was destined to build great Pianos. 
|       He then came to Brooklyn where he went into the
| business as a technician and dealer. In 1890 he began
| the manufacture of the " Wissner" piano.
|        Otto had three sons who carried on the business 
| well into the 1900s.  It is a Piano well worth rebuilding 
| today.
| 
|    Hope this helps:
