Daniel Gray
piano maker
Biography
Daniel Gray was another well-known figure in the Albany piano trade, particularly prominent during the 1840s. The text identifies him as a brother of James A. Gray, the co-founder of Boardman & Gray, and states that he was equally eminent as a skilled piano-maker in his own right during those years. No further detail is given regarding his firm affiliation, dates, or later career, but his inclusion alongside his more famous brother reflects the piano trade's tendency in Albany, as elsewhere, to run within families.
