I am doing a material culture (history of stuff) study on an antique player piano. The name is Burmeister and it has New York under the name. It was purchased in about 1921 used and has been owned by the same family since. I am having trouble finding any information about the company that made the piano. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe this site will help. Go under the B’s and find Burmeister. You can get an appraisal and the age too. I hope it works for you.
