Cable-Nelson pianos originated in Chicago circa 1903, when Fayette S. Cable purchased two small piano companies. 
These companies, Lakeside Piano Company and Sweetland Piano Company, then became the Fayette S. Cable Piano Company. The Cable-Nelson brand resulted from a merger with the Nelson Piano Company in 1905. Everett Piano Company bought Cable-Nelson in the 1920's, and moved the manufacturing operations to South Haven, Michigan. In 1954. Hammond Organ company acquired both Everett Piano and Cable-Nelson. Yamaha purchased both Everett and Cable-Nelson in 1973. Now, 105 years after its beginnings, Cable-Nelson resumes its tradition as a great piano at a modest price.
