Van Gruisen

Post by Bill Kibby »

THE ORIGINAL ENQUIRY HAS BEEN LOST FROM THIS STRING OF POSTS.

Van Gruisen & Son were at 27 Bold Street, Liverpool from at least 1886 to 1936, and had added 29 Bold Street by 1894. I have no evidence that they actually made pianos, although they agents for Neidermayer pianos around 1900. Serial number dates are not available.

They were well-known retailers so it is quite likely they sold famous names like Bluthner.
