Decker Brothers

It was founded by brothers David and John Decker, holders of many piano patents.

Its headquarters were located in New York City, in the John H. Edelmann-designed[1] Decker Building, which is today on the National Register of Historic Places.

[2] In 1878, The New York Times wrote that Decker Brothers pianos had "a wide spread and enviable reputation for their superior quality".

[3] They had typical late square action and dampers, but very good scaling ahead of its day.

The company ended its operations at the death of one of the brothers around the turn of the 20th century.
