notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This square piano bears an inscription on the name board “LODINER . LONDON.” No maker by this name in London or elsewhere is known. It is possible that the label was attached by an American maker who wished buyers to think that the instrument was a London piano, which in the late 18th century would have more status in North America than an American-made instrument. This piano has a compass of FF-f3, single action, leather hammers, double-strings, with tuning pins at right, pedal mechanism seems to exist, wood frame, and a mahogany (?) case.
