The Hazelton Brother’s Piano company was originally established in 1840 under the name F & H Hazelton. It was owned by two brothers: Henry and Fredrick Hazelton. It wasn’t until 1842 that a third brother joined forces with Henry and Fredrick and they renamed the company The Hazelton Brother’s Piano Company. The company continued to manufacture pianos until the late 1950’s. Oddly enough, that’s not where the Hazelton brother’s saga ends. Today the brand is being built once again, but this time by an Asian import by Samick of Korea.  You can check out the old catalogs at https://antiquepianoshop.com/online-museum/hazelton-brothers/.
