This piano is not rare and not terribly valuable. It is/was common for manufacturers to tout awards or endorsements inside the cabinet and on the plate. In that era there were hundreds of piano manufacturers in the U.S., mostly in the Ease and Midwest. Tayser, Chase, and or Starr were not high level pianos in the pantheon of American piano building. Under the Starr leadership they continued to build pianos through 1949. One can only assume that pianos continued to be built utilizing the Trayser marque at least through the year yours was built. By 1884 the Starr brother gained control and the name was changed to Starr Piano Co. In 1878 Milo Chase bought in and changed the name to Chase Piano Co. In 1872 the Starr brothers James and Benjamin gought in and moved the factory to Richmond, Ind. In 1869 they opened a factory in Ripley, Ohio.
The company was established in 1849 by George L. #133221 according the the Pierce Piano Atlas was built in 1916. My mother said that they were a manufacturer, but local sites/info shows them as an importer/distributor. My great grandfather, EE Barker, was WH Paling's leading hand gilder/painter around 1900, and did a lot of ornate work on the pianos that were imported and sold out of Melbourne, including probably the Sydney Powerhouse Museum's showpiece Lipp grand.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,Įdit: Info that may be of use to historians and you never get something for nothing in return, even free information. I've tried google unsuccessfully for a few hours to try to get this info, and, aside from a paid subscription to the Pierce Piano Atlas that I declined, all that I found was that Starr Piano Company had an Australian agency and that the Trayser branding was one of theirs, with the date/ownership changes in the company being cut and pasted across a number of websites. (3) Anyone could advise the general reputation of the Trayser pianos - are they reputable/above average quality usually, or did we pick a well-tuned one through fluke? (2) Anybody could advise if the reference to 'Carnegie' (I'm assuming Carnegie Hall, but I'm often wrong,) means anything as far as build quality or anything else to look out for. (1) Someone could please confirm my estimate of manufacture date by cross-checking a resource if there's one available. This post is not a request for an estimated price, as we've bought the thing. I can't supply photos as it's not arriving for another week or so. On the inside of the keyboard lid/front fall flap (I don't know it's technical name, sorry) is also a reference to Carnegie, applied in gilt lettering at the factory. The piano's been re-felted/internals repaired in the last 20 years so that it works quite well (the dampers slap onto the strings slightly, especially the lower register, but only when you *really* want to listen for the slap.) The felts only have minor wear/grooving. Looking at the casing, I'd estimate that the manufacture date is the late 20's from style and finish/manufacture.

(Should add that I've lost the upper end of my hearing due to occupational noise exposure.) The piano has the standard two pedals plus a night-time/practise pedal. Tone and touch on the piano were quiet good for an upright and light/even enough for a beginner to learn on. We have found and bought an old Trayser piano, serial Number 133221. My wife has decided to learn piano, having never played before. I went through piano lessons for a number of years in Australia. I've also tried a specific search here through the archives
For this post, I therefore apologise, but have spent a fair bit of time trying to get details unsuccessfully. I'm not a regular on piano forums, but spend a bit of time on cabinetry forums and am used to 'first posts' being a cry for help.
