notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This grand piano was made by Clementi & Co. in London, England around 1810-1820. Muzio Clementi was chiefly known as a concert pianist, composer and teacher, but he was the co-founder of a firm of piano builders which included his name in a variety of arrangements between 1798 and his death in 1832. This piano is serial number 1008, and has a compass of CC-c4, an English action, leather hammers, brass and iron strings, double- and triple-strung, 2 pedals: una corda and damper, wood frame with two iron bars in treble (probably not original), straight-strung, and a walnut veneer case (legs probably not original).
