Harvard Pianos

Harvard pianos were established in 1885 in Dayton, Kentucky, before being purchased by John Church and Frank Lee of the Everett Piano Company in 1894. Known for their reliability and excellent craftsmanship, Harvard pianos quickly became popular in the market. They were recognized for their distinctive individuality and musical merit, often marketed under the "Dayton Piano Company" and "John Church & Company" brands. The Harvard Piano Company was later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and continued production until the onset of the Great Depression. Harvard pianos are appreciated for their robust build quality and beautiful tone, making them a prized possession for collectors and musicians alike.

"I absolutely LOVE my grand piano. Brigham and his sons personally delivered the piano. They gave me a very good trade in on my piano so I could upgrade. I love working with this locally owned family business. They are salt of the earth people and Brigham knows his stuff." —Celia B.
