'Turnback Tuesday' features Sterling Piano Co. in Derby

Turnback Tuesday gives a peek inside the world of the Sterling Piano Company in Derby.

Founded by Charles A. Sterling, the company started out as the Sterling Organ in 1845. 
The manufacturing then switched over to pianos by 1884. 
The first class workmanship of these musical instruments has shown the test of time. This rare look at the interior of the factory was recently donated to Derby Public Library.


Thanks go to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
