拍品專文

At first sight a conventional piano of the Hicks type, this instrument contains evidence of an organ section. Surviving parts are the exhauster and reservoir and thirteen pipes formed as a block on the wind-chest, now disconnected from the bellows. There is no sign of a key-frame or any connection with the piano key-frame.
