about why Bauer Benches are fast becoming a national favorite. These
sturdily constructed benches carefully styled to match all well known
piano makes and styles come to you superbly finished in correct colors.
Our motto "Bauer Better Benches" is based upon the conviction of the
trade that a fine piano deserves a fine bench and conversely that a fine
bench greatly assists in the sale of a fine piano.
