Broadwood 1803

An unusual opportunity - a chance to buy a Broadwood square piano - from John Broadwood & Sons!

In a handsome mahogany case with an elegant French stand.

We would expect an 1803 Broadwood to have the brass under-damper action, but this one has Southwell-style 'dolly' dampers with its single action.  Alastair Laurence assures us that all the evidence indicates that this is original.

The following notes were supplied by Broadwoods:

Serial number 7,305,  Damper-pedal and linkage intact.  In full playing order, restored by Willford in 1980.  

Letter of provenance from Broadwood's dated 25th February 2012 confirms date of despatch 4th May 1803 sold to John Calcraft of Sackville Street (see his entry in Google).
