Lyon
piano maker
partner
Biography
Lyon was a partner in the Albany piano firm of Lyon & Talbot, also recorded as Hazelton, Lyon & Talbot, with which Henry Hazelton was briefly associated after leaving his apprenticeship under James A. Gray. Unlike his partner Talbot, who moved to Baltimore in later years, Lyon is noted as still residing in Albany at the time of writing. The text supplies no first name, dates, or additional career details for Lyon, situating him only within the network of Albany piano-making partnerships that James A. Gray outlined in correspondence describing the city's manufacturing firms active since 1836.
