notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This upright piano was made by Robert Wornum in London, England after 1832. There are some mysteries about the piano. Only one of the two numbers in it can be the serial number, and they would indicate two very different dates. The number 423 on the top of the pin block is likely to be the serial number. Another number, 2766, is attributed to this instrument and needs further research to confirm. This piano has a compass of FF-f4, Wornum tape-check action, FF-d wound iron double-strings, d#-f4 plain iron double-strings, 2 pedals: keyboard shift and dampers, wood frame, straight-strung, and a walnut (?) case with a silk front panel.
