J. Munroe

piano maker

Biography

J. Munroe is listed among the makers active in Boston around 1850, one of several (along with L. Matt, S. Brooks, and Daniel Morris) who aimed mainly at providing a popular-priced instrument. The text states this group's makers had, with the exception of Daniel Morris, passed away as manufacturers by the time of writing, though some successors continued the lines.
