I found a newsgroup called "the Encyclopedia Titanica" which has a
couple of threads concerning pianos on board. I couldn't find anything
about makers of the grand piano. Someone said that the ship had
furnishings from the continent as well as the UK and it's entirely
conceivable that it had a Hamburg Steinway or possibly an Erard,
although I'd put my money on Broadwood. <br>
<br>
It seems pretty certain, though, that there were some English birdcages
that went to the bottom that fateful day. :-)<br>

<div>Folks:</div>
<div>I have one of those burning questions that you get some times.
You know, a some what meaningless questions about piano facts... The
subject of the Titanic came up to day, and people were talking about
the pictures of the wreckage. Someone said the Grand Piano is still
down there. While that's good to know, I started to wonder who was the
manufacture of this piano? Anyone know? The Hindenburg had a Bluthner
grand, but what did the Titanic have. Thanks, and sorry for the dumb
question.</div>
