[Jukebox-list] RE: Rowe closing up shop in the US

[Ron Rich]

John,
Has "Johnson" disappeared too? If so, who built the last cabinets? For some reason, I think that I saw a tag on a Rowe CDRN cabinet that said "Klein Piano".  Ron Rich

American Musical Instruments (AMI) began in the early 1900's and produced 
player pianos in the old plant. Like most of their competitors, AMI didn't 
build the pianos, only the player actions which they added to pianos made by 
others, When the Victrola and radio killed the player piano market, AMI 
switched to jukeboxes. AMI and Johnson Furniture who built the cabinets were 
fixtures in Grand Rapids for many years. It's a shame to see them gone.
