DISCOVER THE LEGEND. DISCOVER THE FUN. EST 1857
Since 1857, when Hampton L. Story built his first piano, discriminating purchasers have marveled at the fine craftsmanship that makes every Story & Clark piano a treasure. Exacting standards for tonal excellence and quality at a superb overall value are the hallmarks of Story & Clark pianos.
Today's Story & Clark pianos reflect the company's rich and unique American history of over a century of innovation combined with expert craftsmanship in piano-making. Melville Clark is generally credited with creating the first player piano as we know it today (the Apollo). The company went on to develop the first electric piano (in partnership with RCA in 1939) and today they continue the tradition with PNOscan™.

That connect with new MIDI devices, personal computers. Perfect for commercial venues like restaurants and hotels as well as family rooms
With the simple pull of a lever, you can play your piano silently, hearing your performance exclusively through headphones. SilentPNO dramatically reduces the sound of your acoustic piano without interfering with the normal piano action, making it ideal for silent or private piano practice sessions.
A small unobtrusive knob underneath the piano keyboard is used to activate the SilentPNO function which prevents the hammers from striking the strings when the piano keys are depressed. Available on all Story & Clark grand pianos and upright pianos.
Today, there is nothing you can do with a digital piano that you can't do with a Story & Clark acoustic piano with the proper accessories. In fact, the potential of Story & Clark acoustic pianos exceeds that of any digital piano, yet does not have the major drawback of most technology: obsolescence. Via the PNOscan™ MIDI strip and MIDI ports, Story & Clark pianos give you the ability to connect with new MIDI devices, personal computers and the Internet and take advantage of new technology as it develops. Whether you want to learn to play the piano or are an accomplished professional musician, Story & Clark pianos and player pianos are designed to meet your needs.
But the real beauty of a Story & Clark acoustic piano is all of these extra features are virtually invisible; they are there if you want to use them, but if you just want to enjoy the sound and beauty of a classic acoustic piano, you never have to know they're there.
The Nickelodeon: Is as much fun today now as they were at the turn of the century, nickelodeons provide hours of entertainment and make a unique addition to commercial venues like restaurants and hotels as well as family rooms.

The dream of a violin that can play itself has tantalized inventors for over a century. Now, modern technology has made the dream a reality - and without the use of digitally sampled sounds!
