Ivers & Pond Company

Under his own name, William H. Ivers had begun manufacturing pianos in Dedham, Mass., in 1870. Ten years later, Handel Pond (1852-1908), whose profession was first given in the Winchester directories as an organ tuner, became his partner in the Ivers & Pond piano manufacturing company in Boston. Upon Ivers' resignation as president in 1897, Pond succeeded him in that office. The company produced square, upright, grand and player pianos of first quality for home and school use. At one time they received an order for 100 pianos from the New England Conservatory and were endorsed by over 600 leading musical and educational institutions. After Pond's death, the company was headed by his sons Clarence (president) and Shepard (treasurer).
