Oddly enough, the one name on the list that raised my little eyebrow was 
Steinway. Grands? Oh, yes. Uprights ... well, I've not been all that impressed 
with the few I've seen. Others may feel differently.

I would definitely add another name though: Haines Brothers. I just restrung 
and partially rebuilt (rehabbed? restored?? fixed up??) a 1911 beauty!

  Steinway uprights are are different breed & some of the best made. Some of 
the 1890s Monsters actually had a laminated soundboard liner similar to the 
grands. It was  neatly encased in the cabinet and sourounde the entire board. 
Huge cutoff bar. I like the feel of the action. Without the vertigree of course.
    I sold one for 10 K  about  6 years ago. Black with beautiful case & cut 
out inset panels. The piano has no cracks and very nice crown. Not bad for an 
antique. Oh did I mention it sounds great.
   The haines bros was a good piano. Rebuilt some of those too.
