I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by a "wind portable piano". There are pages about Murdoch & Murdoch on the internet, including this website, but briefly, they were a large retail group which took over the Spencer factory in the late 1800s.

I mean that it´s an organo; a portable organo. It´s a wood box that you can lift to the top and put a piece of wood between its two legs, so the little organo its ready to be played. It has 32 keys and two big¨"footstep" (I´m sorry of my english...). I think that one is high and the other is low sounds. I don´t have idea of music or pianos history, but it´s a present and i would like to have information of it. Thank very much again.

I'm sorry I didn't understand what you meant, it's not a piano at all, it's an organ, and I don't really have any dealings with organs, but someone else may answer.
