hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to contact the Gaveau Piano Company? I need some information on a small hand operated Gaveau Organ and was advised to contact the company themselves, but apparantly they no longer exist. They are possibly made by William Schimmel.

I don't think you will find any proper, original archive material. In 1960, the Erard company merged with Gaveau. By 1976, Erard (and therefore Gaveau) was part of the Schimmel group. Schimmel have no archives from the period prior to their ownership.
