1901 Straube Cabinet Grand with a engraving ' ESTABLISHED 1878'.In 1907, Straube Piano Company executives publicly recognized 1895 as the founding year. However, in 1911, published an influential reference book, Pianos and Their Makers, that gave 1878 as the founding year. The December 19, 1914, issue of Music Trade Review began using the 1878 founding date. At some point, Straube Piano began casting the numerals '1878' in the piano plates (aka iron frames). Straube Piano in 1924 attributed 1879 as the founding year.
In 1996, a book author provided 1859 as the founding year. Incorporation of Straube Piano CompanyWilliam Straube, an investor, not a piano expert, incorporated Straube Piano Company in 1897 as an Illinois entity.
Initial executivesJames (Jim) Francis Broderick (19 August 1854 – 17 November 1920 ) became president on January 1, 1898, and served in that role until March 1911. Before joining Straube Piano, Broderick had been a traveling salesman for Steger & Company and the B. Shoninger Co.William Straube (1857–1923) had sold all his interest around 1901 and signed a 5-year.
But in 1901, Straube, his two brothers, Herman Charles Straube (1867–1921) and Martin Straube, Jr. (1869–1934), and an associate, Charles Jacobsen (no relation to the Jacobsons of Straube Piano Company), formed another piano manufacturing company and leased the Club Block in. The Straube Piano Company challenged and won an on December 16, 1901, in Cook County Circuit Court forbidding the Straubes and Jacobsen from using the Straube name in the manufacturing of pianos.Ernfrid (Ernest) Reinholdt Jacobson (25 December 1877 – 19 June 1976 Chicago) – who began at Straube in August 1898 as a bookkeeper and stenographer – purchased the entire interest of the remaining partner and became president in March 1911.In 1901, Straube Piano Company was one of 31 Chicago area piano manufacturers that were recognized nationally.New factory. Grands. The Conservatory – (1926 – $950; equivalent to $13,445 in 2018). The Artist – (1926 – $795; equivalent to $11,251 in 2018).
The Italian (1926). The Sonata Florentine (1926)Reproducing. Model C – (1926 – $2,575, equivalent to $36,442 in 2018, and up) – 'An instrument which recreates with absolute fidelity the playing of the world's master pianists, a combination of the superb Straube Conservatory model grand with the famous (Licensee) reproducing action. Its amazing range of expression imparts a realism which makes it impossible to distinguish the reproduction from the personal playing of the artist.
A library of more than 4,000 rolls puts the world's greatest music at the disposal of the owner of a Straube Model C. Players. Hammond Style 10 (1914), made of mahogany & oak.
The Artronome player action, introduced on Straube player pianos in May 1921, included patented pendulum valves, one for each note, a tenpoint customized motor, and an automatic ball-bearing roll adjuster for the tracking.The valve, according to the company, became the heart of the Artronome action. According to Straube literature, it was frictionless, non-corrosive, and eliminated 90 percent of all player problems caused by friction and corrosion in the mechanism. By 1922, over one million Straube pendulum valves had been installed in player pianos of various makes.
The valves were three-tier and horizontal, but not the more common type found in horizontal valve actions, which were usually the wire i-pin variety. Each valve pivoted between two ears that extended from each metal plate. Each valve was a wood disc with leather facing on both sides. One face had a center hole leading to a pocket of a larger diameter in the wood. The valve was supported only by a lever between the valve plate pivot and the pouch lifter disc, with a right angle dowel extension that 'plugged in' the center hole of the valve button.
The pivotal lever is easily removable because it was not cemented to the valve, rendering a loose valve button in the valve well behind the valve plate that was screwed onto the valve chest with white sealing compound. The Straube Style L was a short upright – only 3 ft 7 inches tall, introduced in 1926 – that incorporated Straube's patented Duplex Overstringing. Straube claimed that the Duplex Overstringing enabled the piano to produce the sound of a full upright. The Melo-Harp was a patented pneumatic-controlled attachment for Straube pianos. The Straube Grands offered in 1927 included lengths four-foot-four, five-foot-two, six-foot, and six-foot-two in various styles. Straube Reproducing Grands were automated player pianos that used a action manufactured under license by the Auto Pneumatic Action Co. Of Manhattan, New York.In 1924, Straube introduced individual names for its players rather than alpha letters in an effort to stimulate retail sales.
A year earlier, Straube introduced a uniform national pricing policy. In 1923, Straube also launched a national advertising campaign.Explanation of the term Studio Grand: A tall upright piano – 50 inches or taller, one that a person of average height can't see over when seated at the bench – is sometimes referred to as an 'upright grand'. Straube branded it as a 'Cabinet Grand'. Use of the word 'grand' with uprights should not be confused with concert grands.
Upright grands can be of high quality and – short of concert grands – are often the choice of serious pianists, recording studios, and performance venues. A mid-high upright – one that one can barely see over – is often used in dance studios, where an accompanist can see the dancers. A short upright, one that rises less than a foot above the keyboard, is referred to as a spinet.
Serious pianists typically regard spinets as inadequate because the soundboard is too short to produce a full sound with full overtones.Sample Straube serial numbers Straube serial numbers run from 1895 to 1949.

In the retail piano business today, conditions have changed materially from what they were a few years ago. Instead of simply considering old names and traditions as an asset, we are now obliged to treat with modern forms of merchandising, both buying and selling.
