History

Ascherberg pianos were associated with the London piano manufacturer Chappell & Co. in the late 19th century. Chappell & Co. was founded in 1811 by Samuel Chappell, Johann Chappell, and Francis Latout, who were already partners in a music publishing business. Chappell took over Ascherberg pianos in 1935 but stopped building the pianos because of the Second World War where the Ascherberg piano factory was completely destroyed.
