The Estey Piano Company was the piano-making offshoot of the Estey Organ Company of Brattleboro, Vermont, with a factory built in 1885–86 in the Bronx that is now a New York City landmark. George W. Gittens bought the firm in 1917 and B. K. Settergren in 1927, moving production to Bluffton, Indiana; pianos under the Estey name were made into the 1960s.
