Upright Cabinet Grand serial # 8496 John Broadwood & Sons, London 1841 This 6 and a half octave piano was completed at the Horseferry Road workshops, Westminister, London on the 2nd day of October, 1841. It was sold and delivered to Miss Vickers Ladies School, Holloway, London. The piano was returned some time later and was rented to Reverend Clement Strong, of 78, Oxford Terrace, London for 31 shillings and 6 pence per month beginning on the 14th of March 1842. It was returned on the 11th of October 1842. The final entry in the Broadwood archives is date the 31st of December 1842. On that day it was tuned and packed in a new packing case for delivery to Samuel Long Esquire of Charfield, near Wooton under Edge, Gloucestershire, West England.

The instrument was paid for by George Meek, Esq. of 29 Russell Square, London. His relationship to Mr. Long is unknown. Nothing more is known about the piano except that it was acquired by Roberts & Brazier and restored in 2004 and 2005 with historical wire and new leather action parts where needed, etc. It is pitched at A430.
