Broadwood

Post by Monkeyman »

I have got this Piano made by John Broadwood and Sons, but I do not know the age or anything about this piano. I got it second hand and It was in a What seems good condition.

I am guessing it is relativly modern because it is plain in design and it is an Upright piano. On the underside of the lid covering the keys, There is "John Broadwood and Sons London" In a gold border. The Piano Spans 7 Octaves (A to A) and It has Two Pedals.

The Dimensions are (very rougly) :
131cm or 51.5" Length
33.5 or 13.3" Width

Those were done with a 30cm Ruler so they are just guidelines! :oops:

I have had a look inside and it has a 5 digit number (I guess it is the Serial number) : 87071

I Really dont know if this is enough information but please tell me what to add if i need to.

Thankyou in advance! :D

Most of the British pianos you'll see outside museums have two pedals and seven octaves. The number suggests 1896, but most pianos have several numbers, this may not be the serial number. See
