We’ve have many Kimballs pass through here and they’re all reliable and good. Fun to play.
Perhaps the most famous and most successful of all piano manufacturers in history was the W.W. Kimball Piano Company of Chicago. William Wallace Kimball founded what was to become one of the largest piano companies in the world in 1857. W.W. Kimball was an amazing entrepreneur and sales genius, and was able to promote his pianos on a nationwide basis that was very much ahead of its time. Prior to 1888, most pianos sold by Kimball were actually built by other manufacturers such as Hallet & Davis, Emerson, Chickering & Sons, and J. P. Hale.
