Established in 1875 by Allen B. Chase of Norwalk, Ohio, the company built both pianos and organs in the last quarter of the 19th Century. By 1900, organs were discontinued, and they went on to build a large selection pianos and player pianos for over 100 years. Early on, they enjoyed a fantastic reputation for superior instruments and they truly built some incredible pianos.
