The Broadwood Trust still exists and commissions pianos to be made by other makers to their specification. Ladbrokes of Birmingham, England still make a barless upright for Broadwood and a prototype 6' barless grand was unveiled at The Royal College of Music about 4 years ago. (It was not a great success) Whelpdale, Maxwell & Codd who recently moved to Gloucester and have now closed down did make one upright model for Broadwood.
