notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Made by Johannes Broadwood in London, England, in 1798. Because the name of the Broadwood company became “John Broadwood & Son” in 1794, it has been suggested that the 1798 date on the name board ought to be read 1793. The serial number 998 might suggest a date of c. 1788. This piano has a compass of FF-f3, an English single action, with underdampers, leather hammers, double-strings throughout, 1 hand stop: dampers (missing), wood frame, and an inlaid case with contrasting woods.
