Aurora's Forged Keys: A Lasting Piano Legacy

Aurora, Illinois, the second-largest city in the state, boasts a captivating history intertwined with the world of pianos, extending from manufacturing and education to vibrant cultural expressions. This "City of Lights" has nurtured a deep appreciation for music, with the piano playing a significant role in its past and present.
In 1891, Harry Sadler established the Aurora Piano Manufacturing Company, a testament to the city's burgeoning industrial landscape. This factory, located near Douglas and Ashland Streets (the building still stands today), produced pianos that found their way into homes across the region. Ron Sadler, a descendant of the founder, explains that having a local piano factory was a common phenomenon in towns like Aurora during that era, primarily due to the considerable effort involved in transporting such large instruments. The rise of radio and phonograph records eventually led to the decline of the piano's popularity and the closure of the factory after World War II, but the Sadler family's connection to music continued through their music store, Sadler's Music.
A Legacy Forged in Wood and Wire
While many cities have a music scene, very few can claim to have physically built the instruments themselves. Aurora's unique piano history provides a rich foundation for today's musicians. This legacy of craftsmanship and commerce ensures that every resource a modern pianist needs is right at their doorstep.
- Aurora Piano Manufacturing Company: Founded in 1891 by Harry Sadler, this historic company built its factory right here in Aurora. For over a decade, craftsmen forged pianos that found their way into homes across the region, making Aurora a centre of piano production.
- Sadler's Piano Legacy: The family's deep connection to the piano industry continued long after the factory closed. Ron Sadler, a descendant of the founding family, transitioned the business into music retail and service, representing a direct, living link to the city's manufacturing past and profoundly impacting the region's music industry.
- Cordogan's Pianoland: Located near Aurora, this institution stands as a modern hub for piano enthusiasts. As one of the area's most significant piano dealers, it carries on the tradition of providing high-quality piano sales and service, a vital resource for anyone from a beginner seeking their first upright piano to a professional needing a concert grand piano.
- Music & Arts: Serving the practical needs of new students, this store makes the instrument accessible. It provides crucial services like piano rentals and sales, along with beginner piano lessons, ensuring anyone can start their journey with the keyboard.
Today, Aurora remains a hub for piano enthusiasts. The city and its surrounding areas offer a wide array of options for those seeking to learn or enjoy the instrument. The Paramount School of the Arts provides private lessons for students aged 10 and above, while Musical Expressions, located nearby in Naperville, offers instruction for various instruments, including piano. Cordogan's Pianoland, a large piano store situated near Aurora, caters to those looking to purchase new or used pianos or require services such as moving, repair, and tuning. Additionally, businesses like PM Music Centre offer instrument sales, rentals, repairs, and lessons.
The city's vibrant arts scene regularly features piano performances and events. The Venue in downtown Aurora is a renowned live music performance space that hosts a diverse range of local and national acts, including those that showcase piano music. Their excellent sound system, comfortable seating, and innovative programming make it a popular destination for music lovers. Aurora's rich history and ongoing commitment to music education and community involvement demonstrate a deep and lasting relationship with the piano, ensuring its continued presence in the city's cultural landscape.
