 Sherman Clay enters the
21st century, it stands unique. Few companies have operated continuously for over 130 years.
Leander Sherman founded Sherman
Clay in San Francisco, California in 1870.There were no automobiles in the
city. It would be six years before electricity was available and nine years
before the telephone appeared on the West Coast. Leander Sherman worked to bring the finest concert artists and opera stars to
the city. Many of them performed at Sherman Clay's own concert hall.
In 1892, Sherman
Clay was authorized as a Steinway dealer.It was around then that Leander
Sherman began a lifelong friendship with Paderewski, famed composer and concert
artist.
"My good friend, Leander Sherman," wrote Paderewski, "always makes San
Francisco a most delightful place to visit."
Through
earthquakes,
 world wars, the depression, Sherman Clay
has continued to provide for the musical needs of its customers.
Over the years,
the company has adapted to changes in musical taste and technology. More people
have purchased pianos from Sherman Clay than any other retailer.Today, the
company operates in California, Washington, Oregon, Texas, and Arizona.
Our goal has never wavered:
To bring value and
culture to the American home by providing the finest in musical keyboard
instruments. |
