Willis & Co. was a Canadian piano company.[1] It was founded as a piano retailer in 1884 in Montreal, Quebec. The retail company became successful, and in 1907, they bought a controlling interest in the Lesage Piano Company, and started the manufacture of their own pianos under the name "Willis & Co.". These pianos became very successful, and at their peak they made close to 3000 pianos each year. The company was sold by the family in 1967, and went bankrupt and closed in 1979.
