Established in the great piano hub of Chicago, M. Schulz & Co. manufactured grand and upright pianos, as well as reproducing and player pianos - all of which had a reputation as first-class instruments. Known for their highly accurate, almost perfect scale, M. Schulz pianos were crafted from quality materials and built with great care. The original Schulz building engraving still adorns the renovated building today.
