Grand Piano Company of Morganton, NC

March 11, 2010 //  by Piano Emporium

Worked on a Grand Piano Company console today.  The company was established in 1961 at Morganton, NC. The piano was a console but seemed very much like a spinet. The difference was that the action dropped below the main level of the key bed like a spinet but the keys were angled to drop below the action as well.  There was no drop lifter or extension lever with this type action configuration. The action was made by Wood – Brooks in Rockford, IL. The pitch was 115 cents flat but was tunable and able to be brought up to A440. These pianos were originally low cost and easily available to most households. Many times we have had calls from some folks stating they had a “grand” piano but in actuality it was a vertical piano made by the Grand Piano Company. 🙂
