J.M Root Piano and Co. Chicago

Post by lberezinski »

Hi,
Can someone please give me some details about this company.?
I bought an old piano from a vintage company, I understand this piano may not be the great finding of the century for me but It had somekind of warmth and magic when I saw It for the first time.
Is It completely worthless? can It be restored, tuned?

Thanks,

Nobody can guess the value or condition, tuneability, etc. without being there to work on it. I don't think these reached this side of the ocean, and I have no record of the name, so I don't think I can help you.
