The Cable-Nelson brand traces its roots to 1903 in Chicago, when Fayette S. Cable purchased two small piano companies. These companies, Lakeside Piano Company and Sweetland Piano Company, then became the Fayette S. Cable Piano Company. The Cable-Nelson brand resulted from a merger with the Nelson Piano Company in 1905.
The Everett Piano Company bought Cable-Nelson in the late 1920's, moving its manufacturing operation to South Haven, Michigan. In 1954, the Hammond Organ company acquired both Everett Piano and Cable-Nelson. Yamaha purchased both Everett and Cable-Nelson in 1973. Now, 105 years after its beginnings, Cable-Nelson resumes its tradition as a great piano at a modest price.
"This classic American brand will enjoy new life supported by outstanding Yamaha design and craftsmanship," says Bernie McCaffery, Acoustic Piano marketing manager, Piano Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. "Customers can expect to receive the quality they expect from Yamaha at a very attractive price."
The new Cable-Nelson comes in two vertical models…the CN116 and CN216 are 45" studio pianos, and two grand models…the CN151 (4'11) and CN161 (5'3), both available in the polished ebony finish.
