So Broadwood lives on!?

I read previously that the company Broadwood & Sons stopped making pianos a while ago, yet I visited the site of Yorkshire Pianos yesterday and amongst the makers of new pianos is Broadwood, with a few in its range. Are they actual Broadwoods or in name only, like Kemble? http://www.yorkshirepia...

Re: Info on G. S. Bosworth & Son Leicester?

Info on G. S. Bosworth & Son Leicester?

A friend has an old 85 key grand by this maker and it has s sticky key. She is wondering if it's worth fixing or selling and buying a newer piano?
