History
The oldest SCHIRMER & SON traces its origins back to 1855 by Glandt Schirmer and his son Teodor Betting. In 1887, Teodor Betting[1] set up his own factory in Kalisz and began manufacturing pianos and reed organs.[2]
In 1997 four vertical piano models and three grands were imported into the United States,[3] upright pianos from 42" console to a 50" upright. The pianos utilize solid spruce soundboards, quarter-sawn beech bridges,[4] 17-ply beech pin blocks, laminated spruce back posts, and Renner action.[1]
