THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Encyclopaedia
Britannica Says:
" Meyer's idea was taken up and improved upon
by Jonas Chickering, who applied it to the grand
piano as well as the square, and brought the prin=
ciple up to a high degree of perfection, establish^
ing by it the independent construction of the
American pianoforte."
It is now 92 years since the first
was built in Boston. But men who learned their
trade under Jonas Chickering, the founder of this
house, are still working to«day in the Chickering
factories to maintain and advance the traditional
prestige of the Chickering Piano.
