Question
Our family heirloom is a German upright, cabinet grand piano, labled Chicago, Serial #46975, made with (we are told) tiger stripe maple. Can you tell me when and where it was built? Still sounds great. - jim

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for contacting us. In order for me to give you the correct information I need to know the manufacturer. Is the piano a Chicago brand or is it a German brand?

Sincerely,
Robert Parker
