John Broadwood and Sons Upright Piano
I have a John Broadwood and Sons upright piano and I was wondering if anybody could please inform me on the history of the piano (when, where it was made etc)
I know almost next to nothing about the piano, and do not want a value, however, I would love to hear about the history of this wonderful instrument and hope I have come to the right forum!
It has two pedals
It is a 7 octave piano, from A to A
Pictures have been uploaded: if you can not see, the number is
110037
Thank you,
Tejas Lamb

Re: John Broadwood and Sons Upright Piano
It was, of course, made in Broadwoods' London factory, but the only way you might learn more is by contacting Broadwoods themselves...

and there is a fee, but at least they are one of the very few makers whose records still exist. The archives are stored at Surrey History Centre, so you also have the options of going there, or paying them to search for information. For more details see
