History:
The Wegman Piano Company was established in Auburn, NY in 1882. Wegman was a small company, and they built high grade, good quality pianos and organs during the turn-of-the-century era. After the turn-of-the-century, they discontinued their organ line. The Wegman Piano Company also built pianos under the Chase & Baker and Vough brand names. In later years, the compay was affiliated with the famous Estey Piano Company. The Wegman name was discontinued in about 1956.
The Wegman family operated the Wegman Piano Factory on Logan Street. Established in 1882, the company was a division of the Estey Piano Corporation and was associated with several names, including Malcom, Love, Vough, Chase & Baker. The company was active in Auburn until 1915. The brick factory buildings still stand. Interestingly, Mrs. Julia Wegman is listed as the company president in 1900, an era where it was unusual to find a woman running a business. Mrs. Wegman died in 1922. The Wegmans lived at 100 South Street, and the house still stands.
*The piano is in good condition..
**It needs tuning, repair of the exterior (wood on the lower part of the piano is a bit chipped off), and the wheel doesn’t work anymore because of its age & weight.
