Antique Musical Instruments/Buttikofer Pianos

Question
One of my ancestors, William Hauch, worked as a piano case maker for Buttikofer Pianos, in the 1800's. Where would I find out who worked on piano, or if there are any records of the employees or craftsman for Buttikofer?

I appreciate this, I am working on a family history project, and would like to add a photo of a Buttikofer piano to the tree.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

I am afraid I wouldn't know where to start if you're trying to access buttikofer records...

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
