<DIV><BR></DIV>Shawn,<BR><BR>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

<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></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
