Website of the Starr-Gennett Foundation which is a non-profit organization

Company and its parent Starr Piano Company in Richmond, Indiana. Along
with crafting some of the world’s finest pianos, which served as the
primary medium for musical entertainment in America before the widespread
use of the phonograph, the Starr-Gennett complex became a “music factory”
that was later responsible for recording, pressing, and distributing
groundbreaking Jazz records that first spread “America’s music” throughout
the United States. To this day, Gennett records are regarded as essential
to any proper history of Jazz music. An indispensable website for the
serious collector about "The Cradle of Jazz"!
