Where did the name Vanderbilt come from?
The name Vanderbilt came to the owners Eleanor Fell and Lee Caulfield when they lived in New York City. Together, they had the idea of beginning a harp company. At that time, they were living in a high rise apartment in what used to be the (old) Vanderbilt Hotel on 34th Street and Park Avenue. This is where the name Vanderbilt Music came from. In 1985, they moved the business to Bloomington, Indiana and also became a Lyon & Healy and Salvi distributor. Above all, Vanderbilt Music Company is dedicated to offering friendly, knowledgeable assistance from experienced harpists.
