Chickering Baby Grand Piano Serial Number

Posted on  by

Chickering Brothers (not to be confused with Chickering & Sons) was established in Chicago in 1892 by Clifford Chickering, a distant relative of the famous Chickering & Sons of Boston. Chickering Brothers built exceptional instruments, including the Acoustigrande and the Capacoustic Grand pianos. These instruments were scientifically designed to get the maximum tone and volume for size, often being quite small in outward dimensions.

Both Chickering Brothers and Acoustigrande were acquired by The American Piano Company in 1924. The American Piano Company had acquired the “Chickering & Sons” name sometime earlier, eventually bringing the Acoustigrande, Chickering Brothers and Chickering & Sons together within the American Piano Company.

This is a Chickering piano from the Golden Era of American piano building. It appears to have been rebuilt and refinished probably in the 1960’s to early 1970’s with new tuning pins, strings, damper felts and keytops bringing a new life to this instrument. The tone is vibrant and the action is responsive with good evenness throughout.

Chickering is one of the most respected piano makers going back to the early 1800’s and was the largest piano maker in America at one time. The tone of this piano is a classic example of the warm tone the best Chickering pianos exhibit.
