Hi guys, I have an old very large upright. The frame is almost the size(and may be) of a small 5.6' babyG. The name on it is"The J.M. Root Piano Company" Chicago. It doesn't show up in archives of manufacturers of the period and I have very limited info of the man.JM Root was the Vice President Of the Haddorff Piano co. Starting in 1904. How his name ends up cast in the harp of this piano is a nice mystery at this point. anyone now more? Best!
