EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a grand piano, known as the "Grand pionoforte c. 1819" by John Broadwood. With its six octaves and stunning rosewood case adorned with brass inlay, this instrument is nearly identical to Beethoven's famous piano, differing only in the choice of wood for the case - mahogany for Beethoven's and rosewood for this particular piece. The print belongs to The Colt Clavier Collection, located in Bethersden, Kent. This collection houses an array of historical musical instruments that have left their mark on music history. John Broadwood himself was a pioneer in piano manufacturing and founded the renowned company Broadwood and Sons.
