content: This square piano was made by James Jenkins in Baltimore, Maryland around 1822-1825. James and his brother Jason were known in Baltimore as cabinets makers from 1815-1821. Jason retired in 1821, and James continued until 1837 as a furniture maker. James Jenkins might have made this piano or it might have been made by someone else for Jenkins to sell, which was a common practice. This piano has a compass of FF-f4, an English double action, double-strings throughout, the first 3 notes are wound, tuning pins on the right, 1 pedal: dampers (?), wood frame, and a mahogany case.
