We have an ornate upright piano which has been in the family for a few generations. It was patented by S Garth Wicking of 190 Walworth Road S E and 261 High St Boro. It has an unusual glass keyboard cover.

How fabulous - I wonder if the glass fall is original or if a later owner had it made...or perhaps it was a one-off?
Are you looking for information on it? If so, you'd be better posting this in the Piano History bit, where Bill may know more about it.

Hi

The glass fall is original. We believe it was made for an exhibition. It was left to my mother-n-law by her aunt. Will post in history section.
