Collection: Chickering Pianos


Chickering pianos were celebrated for their exceptional quality and musicality, enjoying a prestigious reputation in the world of piano manufacturing. While Chickering pianos are no longer in production, vintage Chickering pianos are still sought after by pianists and collectors alike for their historical significance and timeless appeal.

The company introduced various piano innovations, including the "full iron frame" and the "overstrung scale," which significantly enhanced the instruments' sound quality and stability. Chickering & Sons became the preferred choice of many renowned artists and musicians, including Franz Liszt and Louis Moreau Gottschalk, who performed on Chickering pianos.

In 1908, Chickering & Sons was acquired by the Baldwin Piano Company, marking a new chapter in its esteemed legacy. Baldwin's acquisition ensured that Chickering's tradition of excellence and innovation continued, influencing the art of piano making in the United States.
