About the Item

Early 1900s; John Broadwood & Sons - North Yorkshire, England This piano salesman sample comes from one of the oldest continuous piano manufacturers in the world. Originally established in 1728 by Burkat Shudi, the company was later taken over by John Broadwood, Shudi's son-in-law, in 1773, and officially became John Broadwood & Son in the early 1800s. A century later, the company continues as John Broadwood & Sons (plural), mainly as a heritage and preservation organization for some of the most important musical instruments in history since King George II. This model has the keys, wires, and other interior pieces omitted for clarity. Measures 14.5" L x 6 D x 13" H
