Winter & Co. was apparently one of the first conglomerates of the 
Aeolian Corp, according to the Pierce Atlas. My favorite of all that 
squalor was the "Memphis Belle" post-WWII Ivors & Pond spinet piano. 
That's a piano for Virgil and Jim's next Tune-Off. Far worse than any 
"Rhymes-with-Whitney".
