I have an old piano. Never used since i have had it, just sitting in my lounge looking pretty. The only identification is a sticker reading W Reeve and co Broadwood and sons London E.C. Anyone know anything about it, thanks

I think you missed an important word - "FROM". Reeve was trained at Broadwoods for 15 years, and was then in business himself in the 1880s and 1890s. He was one of a number of makers who put "From Broadwood & Sons" on his pianos.
