Birmingham, Alabama's Forbes Piano & Organ Company was established in 1889, and went out of business in 2009, with the Montgomery branch closing in August 2010. At its peak, Forbes had 25 branches around Alabama. As roads were improved and customers could come to the stores rather than salesmen having to go to the customers, the company cut back to the Birmingham and Montgomery markets. Many branches were sold to former store managers. The building in Decatur is currently occupied by an independent musical instrument store.
