<HTML> Hello to all.    The Schiller Co. was founded in Oregon, Ill. in 1892. Frederick George Jones was born in Canada in 1847 and was a stock holder from the beginning. Soon he bought all the stock and owned entire Company.   By 1912 the Co. was producing 6000 Pianos a year. He had three Sons Geo. H., Edgar and Cyrus who all worked in the factory.  He died in 1913. In some manner   Geo. Jones was able to use the patents of   J. Bauer in his grands.       The scale ' E'  a  5,4 in. Grand was their best and most popular Grand       The Schiller used both the W.N.G. and Strauch Bros.   actions and perhaps others.       The ' E '  scale had 13 single and 14 double strings in the bass.       This Piano is most surely worth rebuilding if you compare,  after a quality rebuild, to anything new on the market at  $10.000  or under. Especially if you consider durability. The wood used to build this Piano   is so much superior to 98% of the pianos build  today that it could easily outlast them 3 times over.      At some point The Schiller Co. was Affiliated with Conover Bros. Hope this helps, Jack Wyatt</HTML>
