Kroger player piano circa 1901 in excellent condition. Quality walnut wood! Has been in our family for more than 35 years. This does not have any electric motors only the foot peddles to pump air to run the player part of the piano. It can be use as a regular piano. We are downsizing and cannot keep our beloved piano. 117 rolls of music included. Some rolls are dated back to the early 1900’s many more are from the modern era such as the Sound of Music; I left my heart in SF; etc. Here is a little history of this piano company: Henry C. Kroeger was born in Germany in 1827, and began apprenticing for a German piano maker by the age of 15. Kroeger worked for several illustrious piano makers in Hamburg before migrating to the United States in 1852. Kroeger is first listed as building pianos in Stamford, CT in 1852, before moving to New York City in 1855. In 1855 Kroeger worked as one of the main designers and builders at the Steinway & Sons, remaining there in a very important capacity until 1879. In 1880 Henry Kroeger went into partnership with his son, Henry Kroeger Jr., forming the firm of “Kroeger & Son”. In 1885, the firm became “Kroeger & Sons” when Henry’s second son, Otto Kroeger, joined the firm.
