Description

This attractive upright piano was made by the London maker John Broadwood & Sons and has the serial number 31992 stamped into both the soundboard and the case. We believe it to be cottage upright and to date from 1865-1870. It is made from what we believe to be a mix of rosewood and mahogany with a lovely grain. It has a fold-up reading stand underneath the lid. The lid is lockable, but please note that no key is present. The piano is supported on four brass castors and has two brass and rosewood pedals.

Condition: Overall this this piano is in usuable condition, but would benefit from being tuned and serviced by a professional. All keys sound, but they are little sticky and out of tune. There is some scuffing and wear to the woodwork as might be expected and some knocking and scuffing around the edges. The wodwork is a little faded. The fabric on the back of the piano is grubby and badly torn and requires replacement. One of the brass arms on the reading stand is missing.

The approx. measurements are as follows:
Overall - 125cm high, 137.5cm wide, 66cm deep (to maximums).
