The Beckman Piano Company built upright pianos and player pianos in New York City during the 1910 – 1930 era. They were marketed and sold by the large “Spiegel, May & Stern Company”, a leading national retail chain, through their sales catalogs and larger stores across the country. Beckman pianos were known for being of good quality at an affordable price. The Beckman Piano Company went out of business with the Great Depression.
