Introduction

Albert Deane Grover (18 February 1865 Boston, Massachusetts — 23 October 1927 Manhattan, New York) was an American banjoist, composer, teacher, and prolific inventor of musical parts and accessories for stringed instruments. He was a founding member of the Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club. Grover held over 50 patents for musical instrument parts, and founded the musical accessories company A. D. Grover & Son. His father, Stephen Grover (1820–1885), was a Boston piano maker.

In 1952, Grover Musical Products, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, succeeded A.D. Grover & Son.
