Does anyone know of HL Whitehead Piano Storage Co of San Francisco? We have an antique piano (circa 1885) and it is tagged by this company. We are trying to find where our piano came from and it's history. It would help to know the years this company was in business.

What was the name of your piano's maker?

It would help to search that and post at an antique piano newsgroup. I got a long list of them when I put "piano makers" "19th century" into google.
