LYON & HEALY Baby Grand Piano, once played by Jimmy Durante, is now available for sale. The piano is in good original condition and was manufactured in 1920. This piano has been kept in tune. I have moved and sadly, do not have rooom for it anymore.
In 1908, the Lyon & Healy factory opened on Fullerton Ave. in Chicago, and was advertised for some years as "The World's Largest Music House."
The company also built pianos under the Washburn Piano Company and Majestic piano names. The Lyon & Healy brand of instruments enjoyed a good reputation, for their superior quality, until the piano line was discontinued in 1930, during the Great Depression.
Beginning in 1989, pianos have been manufactured under the Lyon & Healy name
The original Lyon & Healy brand, based in the United States, currently has 125 years of harpmaking experience.
They are known throughout the world for their hand-crafted pedal and lever harp. Attributed to their "superior woodcrafting and commitment to the development of the instrument", their harps are described as having "remarkable depth and clarity of sound, breathtaking designs, and rich heritage of quality craftsmanship."
The picture shows a 5' Lyon & Healy baby grand, built between 1920 - 1930 - one of the last Lyon & Healy pianos ever built in the United States.
The piano has a remarkably powerful, clear, and singing tone. The soundboard and bridges are original, and strings. The piano's action has an extremely responsive and well balanced, fast touch.
Lyon and Healy pianos was established in 1864 in Chicago, IL. From that year forward to 1908, various other piano manufacturers such as Packard and Schulz, manufactured the company's pianos, according to Lyon & Healy specifications.

In the opinion of this technician/writer, this piano is, arguably, comparable to other high end brands such as Steinway & Sons, Wm. Knabe & Co., and Sohmer, with a fair market valuation of $7,500, sold as-is.
If fully restored, this piano could sell for $25K. Instant Equity!
