KIMBALL COMPANY HISTORY : |
The Kimball Piano Company was a Chicago institution for almost 140 years.
At times they built some very nice pianos, and at other times, well,
not so nice pianos. But then again, most piano manufacturers are guilty
of that. Kimball was simply fortunate to have more years to do it than
most. Kimball was a very popular, affordable piano across the United
States until Kawai and Yamaha pianos began to wash ashore and show American
piano manufacturers a thing or two that Kimball (and many others) could
never answer. Kimball was eventually purchased by a Fortune 500 furniture
company who decided that Kimball's manufacturing facility would be better
used to make furniture instead of pianos. It was in 1996 that anyone
last heard Bob Barker say "A NEW KIMBALL PIANO!" |
