Chickering & Sons

[Fenton Murray]

Chickering & SonsOn this topic, I recently came across a pair of newish Wurlitzer spinets in a retirement home. Very good construction, nice fit and finish. Very tunable and reasonable enough action responsiveness, what more could you want from a spinet. Made in USA, from the statement below, I think now they were of Baldwin construction.

    That, incidentally, is how Baldwin ended up with the Chickering name.
    Baldwin bought Wurlitzer.



  Since Chickering does not have a serial number as high as I was quoted,
  should I hazard a guess between Baldwin and Wurly numbers?


  Chick-litzer,   I like that one n :-)
