Decker Brothers : ウィキペディア英語版 | Decker Brothers
Decker Brothers was an American piano manufacturer located in the John H. Edelmann designed〔(New York architectural images: The Decker Building ).〕 Decker Building in New York, New York, on the national register of historic places. The company began to produce pianos in 1865, created by David Decker and John Decker, after the brothers were awarded many piano patents. == The Company == The Decker Brothers pianos are known for their exceptional quality in knowledgeable piano circles, and the New York Times wrote that they had "a wide spread and enviable reputation for their superior quality". However, they did not achieve the notability of some of their counterparts, specifically Steinway & Sons and Chickering and Sons, even though widely acknowledged as being equivalent in quality to the Steinway and Chickering pianos of the era. Today the Decker Brothers pianos do not sell for as much as their more famous counterparts, yet they still command more than double the price of an average piano manufacturer of that era.〔Pierce, Bob and Larry Ashley, ''Pierce Piano Atlas.'' 1996.〕 The company ended its operations at the death of one of the brothers around the turn of the 20th century.
