Does anyone here know anything about a piano maker out of Boston called = 'New England Piano Co.'

It's one of = those highly ornate pianos with massive carved legs and a three-corner = rim (like the Bosendorfer). Its mid-section (24 unisons) is overstrung = 12 over 12, while the bass strings are strung straight, so that this = piano has three bridges. Strangely enough, the grain of the soundboard = is parallel to the piano's longest side. The action was made by Schuster = in New York, if that means anything. What is the reputation of these pianos? Does anyone know where to get a = soundboard and fallboard decal for it? =20 I'd be grateful for any information.
