HE history of the house of CHICKERING is practically the history of
piano making in America, for the founder of the house incorporated
within his instruments inventions which have been the basic principles of
piano making in the new world, and the old as well, for many decades.
C|| Tonal experts everywhere have not hesitated to recognize the pre-eminence of
the Chickering instruments in the art world, and expositions, which have been
called the time-keepers of progress, have awarded to the Chickering piano,
wherever exhibited, the highest official recognition, and nearly one hundred
and thirty medals from these authorities stand to the credit of Chickering & Sons.
(|f The principles incorporated by Jonas Chickering in his early creations have
lived in the Chickering pianos ever since. Betterments wherever possible have
constantly been made, and the ambition of the successors of the first Chickering
has always been to carry the gonfalon of Chickering to higher points.
(]( The present output of Chickering pianos in instruments of the grand form
is unapproached by any other house.
other members of the Chickering grand family come in for a generous share of praise.
