Chickering Grand and Upright Pianos

Why we love to restore Chickering pianos

Vintage Chickering pianos were built exceptionally well. At the turn of the 20th century, Chickering pianos were one of the chief competitors of Steinway. Its actually a lot of fun to bring back these older Chickerings to life and the end result is amazing.

History of Chickering

Chickering & Sons was estamblished way back in 1823 by Jonas Chickering. It was the first actual piano factory in America.  In 1908, Chickering was sold to the American Piano Company. In 1932, the Aeolian Piano Company and the American Piano Company merged to create the Aeolian-American Corporation, and they continued to build the Chickering name for decades.
