*In good-excellent condition*!  A local, Chagrin Falls, piano-tuner has
cared for the instrument for over the past decade and recently tuned and
assessed the piano on 5/15/12.  (Name + contact info upon request).  The
piano has never been rebuilt in any fashion and so has all of its original
equipment which is rare and in great condition.



Purchased 8/15/20 at the estate sale of Peggy Holquist in Cleveland
Heights, OH.  This piano was the center of the Holquist cultural household,
used to host monthly “musical evenings” often featuring guest artists from
the faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Music School
Settlement.

*BOND** By PACKARD *http://www.bluebookofpianos.com/kron2.htm#BOND

Bond Pianos were made by The Packard Piano Company, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Under the thoroughly tried and efficient form of cooperation which has been
applied to the factory of the makers of the Bond instrument that bears it
has made progress almost phenomenal. By that system of a co partnership of
labor and profits the Packard Piano Company has exemplified the truth of
the maxim that "Good work is not done by tired men" It is a policy of
fellowship that actuates the makers of Bond pianos and that gives to its
progress uncommon interest. The Bond Piano Co. was organized and
incorporated under the Indiana State laws in the fall of 1911, by the stock
holders of 'The Packard Piano Company. The old established Fort Wayne, Ind.
industry. Early in 1913 at a meeting of the stockholders of the two
companies, a thorough analysis of the situation proved the expense of the
management, production and selling were greater less than two units than it
would be less than one. While the working force could be maintained
separate and distinct in every way, in the manufacture of the Bond Piano
and the Packard piano, greater efficiency could be obtained in management,
production and selling by The Packard Piano Company taking over the Bond
Company, using the Bond Piano Co. as its trademark for Bond. Pianos
manufactured by the Packard Piano Company were built by the owners of the
company, which are all of the employees were paid based on a profit-sharing
method. By that system of a co-partnership of labor and profits made its
progress phenomenal, and the quality of the instrument just a little bit
better than instruments of the same grade. Prices are for Grand pianos.
Worthy of rebuilding.
