Hi Tom,

I saw and played a straight-strung Weber (??) ca. 1890 9-footer that =
looked very similar to this this piano.  It was a beautiful instrument, =
in the process of restoration.  It played reasonably well, but perhaps =
not what one would expect from a nine-footer.

It's cool to imagine this instrument having crossed the Atlantic on a =
tall ship!  :-)

Peace,
Sarah

  List

  I was browsing eBay and came across a Broadwood grand piano which the =
owner alleges is from 1890.  However, pictures of the instrument clearly =
show that it is straight-strung.  Were there any pianos being built as =
late as 1890 with that design?  (Serial number on this piano is 1532, =
but ascertaining it's age in Pierce was too confusing.) =20


  Just curious,
