Patent of 1843 : "To James Stewart,
of Gloucester Crescent, Gloucester Gate, St. Pancras, piano-forte maker, and
Thomas Lambert, of Albanystreet, St. Pancras, piano-forte maker, for
improvements in the action of piano-fortes.—Sealed 29th April—6 months for
inrolment."

James STEWART - or - "A.D. 1843, April 29.
— N° 9716. STEWART, James, and LAMBERT, Thomas. — Improvements in the action
of pianofortes. The first three improvements relate to the production in
upright pianofortes of a good repeat and improvement in the tones.
1.
The drawings represent a
repeating check action cabinet pianoforte. The action is composed
principally of a lever to the under part of which the top of the sticker is
attached, a crank mounted on the lever, a check, a spring, and an
escapement. When the key is pressed down the crank rises and throws the
hammer to the string; at the same time a horizontal arm of the crank comes
in contact with a button of the escapement, bringing the crank out of a
notch in the hammer butt. At the same time a spring acting on the hammer
butt brings back the hammer and its check.
2.
An improved constructi on for
upright pianofortes : — The improvement consists in a new combination of an
elongated under hammer, with a block attached to the front of the back
sticker, a wire spring attached to the front of the back sticker, and a
block at the extremity of the latter extending under the former block.
3.
A piece of wood faced with leather is attached to the fly of the jack, and
from the under hammer is projected a wire spring with a block of wood at its
extremity, which hangs down before the first-mentioned block. By means of
the two blocks coming in contact the hammer is kept near the strings.
4.
A mode of constructing grand square pianofortes : — By elongating the under
surface of the under hammer head to an inclined plane it rests upon the jack
at various points according to the force of the blow struck. The heel of the
upper hammer is hollowed out and the upper surface of the under hammer made
convex, a combination of form which increases the momentum of the hammer as
it rises to the string.
5.
In square pianofortes without a
check we apply the im"proved form of the under hammer and the heel of the
upper hammer as above described, by which means we obtain an improvement in
the touch."

"In
the mediaeval court, Messrs. Lambert and Co. exhibit an upright cottage, for
its decorative qualities. The white keys are inlaid with an ornamental
device, and the sharps are of tortoiseshell. We have already stated an
objection to this kind of decoration."

"GREAT DECORATIVR AND MUSICAL ATTRACTION. - LAMBERT'S PRIZE PIANOFORTE. — To
be Disposed of by Ticket, 220 Subscribers at One Guinea each, the splendid
CARVED and GILT COTTAGE PIANOFORTE, exhibited by Messrs. Lambert and Co. in
the Crystal Palace. - This Piano — so universally admired at the time as a
unique and highly-wrought specimen of art, and which, after a lengthened
examination by the Jury, among whom were Sir H. R. Bishop, Sir G. Smart, &c,
gained the only Prize-Medal awarded to a Cottage Pianoforte, among the large
number exhibited — has since been regilt and more highly decorated; and
will, it is believed, be found the most beautiful instrument ever produced.
It is constructed on the "Patent Repeater-Action" principle (of which Mr.
Lambert was the inventor), and has been pronounced, by competent
authorities, to be one of the most successful instances of the application
of that principle.
Tickets, price One Guinea each; and any person taking Ten Tickets, or
procuring Ten Subscribers, will be presented with an additional Ticket as a
bonus. Tickets forwarded on the receipt of a Post-Office Order, made payable
to Messrs. Lambert and Co., 17, Portman Street, Portman Square, at the
Office, Old Cavendish Street. The Piano may be seen at the Makers' Rooms, as
above."

" LAMBERT
And Co., PATENT PIANOFORTE MANUFACTURERS, Warehouses, 314, Oxford-street,
two doors from entrance to Hanover-square. Lambert and Co.'s Pianos have
become so celebrated, both at home and abroad, that they need only call the
attention of all who wish for a first-rate Pianoforte to their late
improvements in the "Patent Repetition Check Action" Pianofortes and "Patent
Regulating Hoppers." These instruments are warranted, for touch, tone, and
durability, as not to be surpassed, if equalled, by any maker in London;
while the cost is much under other first-rate houses. They have only to be
tried to be approved, and are especially adapted for export. Lists supplied
gratis. The "Check Action" advertised by other houses was Mr. Lambert's
solo invention, but is now greatly improved, and am only be applied by him in
its perfection. It is necessary to mention this, as disappointment has often
been the consequents of applying to other parties, "We recommend these
instruments from personal experience of their character, and a knowledge of
the admirable principles upon which they are constructed, the my best
materials and worlmanship alone being employed." — Court Journal
Pianofortes let on hire, tuned, and repaired, also taken in exchange.

"Patent
Piano Fortes, WITH EXTRA ADDITIONAL KEYS, MANUFACTURED BY W. LEWIS, NO. 76,
ST. MARTIN'S LANE.
W. LEWIS has the honour to inform the Musical World, that he has on Sale
Horizontal Grand, Cabinet, and Cottage Piano Fortes, with his new
improvements, which render them superior to all others. These improvements
consist in the Instrument being strung with a tempered steel wire, and in a
simple apparatus for fixing on the wire and for tuning.
In other Piano Fortes the wire used is an iron mire imported from
Germany — that used by W. Lewis (for which a Patent has been obtained) is made
in this country from the purest cast steel, properly hardened and tempered.
It is well known that the tone produced from steel is purer and more liquid
than that from iron, and accordingly the Piano Fortes manufactured by W.
Lewis will be found to possess a remarkably pure tone. This is not the only
advantage that steel wire possesses: from its extreme tenacity, W. Lewis is
enabled to add seven additional Notes to the Treble, increasing the compass
from FF (the highest notes in other Pianos) to CCC. These notes are
extremely brilliant, and may be introduced with great advantage in duets,
&c. and will no doubt soon become general.
The method of tuning is by means of a screw, and combines great facility
with extreme precision. It is so superior to the common mode,; that a lady,
or even a child, can tune the instrument with the most perfect ease. This
will be found an improvement of no small importance, particularly in the
Country, where good tuners are rarely met with, or must be sought at a
considerable distance.
The superiority of the wire used by W. Lewis has induced him to make Cottage
Pianos with one string only to each note' They are admirably adapted for
small rooms, or as an accompaniment to the voice. The power of these Pianos
is far greater than might be supposed from one string, and in purity and
sweetness of tone they surpass all others. The price of these little exceeds
that of a good Square Piano.
All the Piano Fortes manufactured by W. Lewis are of the best workmanship,
and warranted to stand well in tune, the wire being much less affected by a
change of climate than the ordinary wire.
It will naturally be supposed that these instruments are more expensive than
others; such is not, however, the case, no charge mhateverbeing made for the
above improvements."

"NEW PATENT HORIZONTAL GRAND, CABINET- AND
COTTAGE
PIANO-FORTES, Manufactured by W. LEWIS, 103, St. MARTIN'S LANE.
W. LEWIS has the honour to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, that
he has yeccntly made considerable improvements in the Manufacture of
Piano-fortes, which he begs leavo to submit to their notice.
These improvements consist in using a tempered Steel Wire (for which a
Patent has been obtained) instead of the German Iron Wire used by other
makers; the advantages of the Patent Wire over that in common use, consist
in giving a purer and more liquid tone, standing better in tune, and being
less acted upon by changes in the weather.
The common method of tuning Piano-fortes is laborious and difficult to be
acquired; W. L. has applied to his a new mode, which combines what has so
long been wished for, extreme facility with the greatest precision: such,
indeed, is the ease with which they are tuned, that a Lady, or even a Child,
will find no difficulty in'tuning these Pianos. This advantage will be most
particularly felt in the Country, where good Tunerg are rare, and must often
be procured from a considerable distance.
The method of fixing on a Wire is also new and very easy, and as it always
moves in a straight line, it very rarely breaks or produces false tunes.
The superior quality of Tone and tenacity of the Patent Wire has enabled W.
L. to add Seven additional Treble Notes to his Pianos, extending the Compass
to Seven Octaves;
these extra notes have a peculiar quality and brilliancy of Tone. The
superior quality of Tone and tenacity of the Patent Wire has enabled W. L.
to add Seven additional Treble Notes to his Pianos, extending the Compass to
Seven Octaves; these extra notes have a peculiar quality and brilliancy of
Tone.
It will naturally be supposed that these Instruments are more expensive than
others : much is not, however, the case, as W. L. makes no Additional Charge
whatever for the above-mentioned Improvements."

"To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine.
AS your very valuable Miscellany is open to the investigation of scientific
improvements, will you allow me to trouble you with the subsequent statement
of particulars relative to a transaction of mine with Mr. Loeschman, piano.
forte maker, in Newman-street?
In October 1808, Mr. Loeschman requested that I would call and examine a
piano-forte at his house. I went, and found the instrument had two pedals,
one of which, by moving the keys to the right, brought on D sharp, A sharp,
and E sharp; and the other, by moving the keys to the left, brought on A
flat, D flat, and G flat.
The D sharp and E sharp being brought on by one pedal, and the A flat and G
flat being brought on by the other, it was impossible to have the extreme
sharp sixth upon either F natural or A flat. The three additional sharps and
flats made six more sounds within the octave than in the common instruments;
and the eighteen strings were placed in the following order: C, D Hat, C
sharp. -D, E flat, D sharp. E, F, E sharp. G flat, F sharp, G. A flat, G
sharp, A. B flat, A sharp, B.
I then informed him that I could give him such instructions as would enable
him to produce an instrument far superior to this, as it would have twelve
more sounds within each octave than the common instruments; to effect which
there must be six pedals, three on each side of the instrument.
The first pedal on the right side would produce D sharp and A sharp, the
second E sharp and B sharp, and the third F double sharp and C double sharp;
the first pedal on the left A flat and D flat, the second G flat and C flat,
and the third F flat, and B double flat.
I also gave him the names of the twelve semitones, from C to B in the scale
of each pedal, by which he would be enabled, on comparing the scale of each
pedal with the general scale of keyed instruments, to know which two hammers
in every octave of the instrument would be changed by each pedal.
To illustrate this I will give two examples; and for that purpose it will be
necessary to give the names, with annexed numbers, of the twelve semitones
from C to B, in the scale of the common keyed instruments: C No. 1. C sharp
No. 2. D No. 3. E flat No. 4. E No. 5. F No. 6. F sharp No. 7. G No. 8.
Gsharp No. 9. A No. 10. B flat No. 11. MONTHLY MAG., No. 223, and B No. 12.
The first example is as follows: the first pedal on the right would give D
sharp No. 4. and A sharp No. 11. By comparing these two num bers with the
same numbers in the general scale, it will be found, that this pedal must
remove the hammers from the strings of E flat and B flat, unto those of D
sharp and A sharp.
The second example will be as follows: the first pedal on the left will give
A flat No. 9, and D flat No. 2. By comparing these two with the same numbers
in the general scale, it will be found that the hammers will be removed,
from the strings of G sharp and C sharp, to those of A flat and D flat. The
second pedal on the right will give E sharp No. 6, and B sharp No. 1, in
addition to the two sharps in the first pedal.
The third pedal will give F double sharp No. 8, and C double sharp No. 3, in
addition to the four sharps of the second pedal. The second pedal on. the
left will give G flat No. 7, and C flat No. 12, in addition to the two flats
in the first pedal. The third pedal will give F flat No. 5, and B double
flat No. 10, in addition to the four flats in the second pedal.
Thus, by comparing these other four pedals with the common scale, it will
easily be found which hammers each pedal will remove.
This information, wholly scientific, was of such importance to Mr.
Loeschman, that without it he could not possibly have produced the
instrument for which he has lately obtained a patent.
The knowledge thus communicated was all that was necessary for Mr. Loeschman
to receive from a professor; and there only remained for him to perform the
mechanical part to produce an instrument far superior to any thing of the
kind before invented; in effecting which he certainly has displayed great
ingenuity, and executed in a very masterly manner the instructions which I
afforded him.
This instrument is so superior to the common ones, that, instead of 9
perfect keys, it can be played upon in 33.
Should Mr. Loeschman deny that he received these instructions from me, I
thus publicly call upon him to shew either that he possessed in himself the
scientific knowledge, without which the instrument could never have been
constructed, or to name the person from whom he derived the necessary
information'; that such person and myself may assert our claim to the
invention before B any any impartial judge.
But, I think I may venture to affirm, that there is not any person who will
say, before me, that be gave the least instruction with respect to the
instrument for which Mr. Loeschman has obtained his patent. Thomas
Grenville, 12, Store-street, Bedford square, January 4, 1812."
The Monthly Magazine, 01/02/1808, p. 9-10
"To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine,
Sir, The liberality which first induced you to afford me an opportunity of
submitting to an impartial public, through the medium of your highly
valuable publication, my claim to be considered the actual inventor of the
improvements on the piano-forte, for which Mr. Loeschman obtained a patent,
will, I trust, he extended, to allow me, for a moment, to trespass further
on the patience of your numerous readers, whilst I briefly offer a few
remarks on the conduct of the two gentlemen Mr. L. mentioned in his reply to
mine of February last.
In these Mr. L. made a feeble attempt: to invalidate my statements, and to
remove the impression they were calculated to make on the public mind, by
endoavouring to establish two points. -
First, that he was under no obligation whatever for any assistance
from me in the construction of his instrument, either scientific, original,
or mechanical; for, at the period when he first requested my attention,
though he had not one completed, yet he had many in hand with six pedals.
Secondly, That all the
scientific knowledge I pretended to have afforded him, as something
exclusively my own, was to he found in Kercher’s and Dr. Smith’s Harmonics;
though be omitted to inform your readers at what; part of either of those
authors' works, the knowledge in question is to be found; and stating that,
“it was from repeated interviews with an Honourable Gentleman and Dr. Kemp,
he was induced and enabled to perfect his invention.
My circumstantial refutation of all these particulars, by a full detail, of facts, dates, and
an explicit statement of the information I actually aflforded Mr.
Loeschman, through, your kind indulgence, appeared in your Magazine for June
last. And I flatter myself, I must have Fully substantiated my claim, and
satisfied your readers of the veracity of all my respective statements. And,
so conclusive, so unanswerable were these statements, that Mr. Loeschman has
never since ventured the slightest animadversion on any one of my Charges or
observations.
That Mr. Loeschman should introduce the name of Dr. Kemp, and allude to an
Honourable Gentleman, in the hope of prejudicing the public by their united
respectability against crediting my single assertion, is not at all
surprising; but, that these gentlemen should seem by their tacit
acquiescence to give currency to his misrepresentations, is Parlicularly, as
soon as I had read Mr. Loeschman’s answer to my statements, and found their
names implicated as supporting his misrepresentations, I waited upon Dr.
Kemp and requested a few minutes‘ conversation with him; But received for
answer, he was so much engaged, he could not see me. In consequence, I connnunicatcd my business
by letter, requesting he would have the goodness to inform me what
instructions he had afforded Mr. L. in the construction of his six-pedal
instrument, and at what time. Though this was at the beginning of April, I
have never yet received any answer.
About the same time, I also addressed a letter to the Honourable George
Pomeroy, the gentleman to whom Mr. Loeschman alludes. It was delivered at
his residence to a person who promised to give it him the moment he
returned. The contents was similar to the one addressed to Dr. Kemp, but I
have not been favoured with any reply.
I, therefore, thus publicly call upon the Hon. George Pomeroy and Dr. Kemp,
either to disavow all participation in Mr. Loesclnnan's misrepresentations,
or to substantiate by indubitable evidencé, that, previous to October 1308,
they furnished Mr. Loesclnnan with the precise instructions which enabled
him to construct his “six-pedal patent pianoforte.” Thomas Grenville

D. & Co (x1825)
Patent of 1809 : "LOESCHMAN'S Improved
Scale, and Instruments of Music. Some time previous to the year 1809, Mr.
David Loeschman, piano-forte maker, of Newman Street, London, set about
contriving more convenient modes of carrying into effect the improvements in
piano-fortes, as to extending their scale, which the late Dr. Robert Smith,
of Cambridge, had attempted, and partially accomplished on his harpsichord,
some years prior to 1758; and he has described them in the 2d edition of his
Harmonics, and in a pamphlet soon after published, as a postscript to it.
Mr. Loeschman having succeeded in his attempts, he took out a patent, dated
26th July 1809, for his improvements on piano-fortes and organs, which made
them capable of a scale of 24 sounds in each octave, without requiring any
additional finger keys to the 12 in each octave before in use, and without
requiring the use of the hand for moving any of the stops during
performance, as Dr. Smith's instruments for 21 sounds did; these latter
changes being now effected by means of pedals or levers, to be pressed by
the feet whenever changes of sound become necessary during the performance
or otherwise."

encyclopædia, 1819, p. 110

produced in one instrument, and possessmg those qualities in clearness
of sound, quality, distinctness, forte piano, delicacy of touch, and
shake on the keys or notes, by increasing to forte and decreasing to
piano, at the will of the performer; communicated by a foreigner.—Jan.

1910 - "The London Piano
and Organ Co. inform that they are quite busy with their new models, both
cheap lines and overstrungs. As a consequence, in addition to having to
enlarge their factory at Holmes Road, they have also had to take another
large one in Fortess Road, Kentish Town. The new factory is being being used
entirely for back making, bellying and marking off and the pianos are all
finished as usual at Holmes Road. With their increased facilities, they will
be able now to supply a very large number of pianos each week and they hope
by this means that there will not be the delay in delivery which they
experienced last year. Mr. Gray (proprietor of the London Piano and Organ
Co.) also informs us that he has cancelled his contract with the Apollo Co.,
whose English pianos he had been manufacturing for the last eight years; and
in consequence of this he is now at liberty to supply any of the customers
with the models which they were previously purchasing from that company. He
will be glad. if dealers will apply to him for the prices of these models."

most desirable instrument, comprising, independent of its Self-performing
Properties, an Elegant CABINET
PIANO-FORTE, on the most appropriate

unrivalled. For QUADRILLE PARTIES, ASSEMBLY or BALL ROOMS, and in all
situations where a performer is not present, it proves a valuable
acquisition.

LONGMAN, LUKEY & Co
(1767 or 1794 ?), Charles LUKEY [or LUCKEY]
"In 1779 Lukey is absent from the firm, which now remains as Longman &
Broderip and exists till 1798, in which year it becomes bankrupt, and the
original James Longman had given place to John Longman. Before 1785 Longman
& Broderip had taken another branch shop at 13, Haymarket, and their
business had grown to an enormous extent. At the dissolution of the firm
John Longman entered into partnership with Clementi, the musician, retaining
the shop at 26, Cheapside, and Broderip had combined with Wilkinson and
continued the business at 13, Hay-market (for accounts of these later firms
refer to their respective headings in the present volume)."

1796 -
Bankrupt in 1796 -"Longman and Broderip and
Others (their sameday. Assignees) v. Calliford [sic].
Longman and Broderip, the bankrupts, entered into an agreement with
Calliford [sic] for fourteen years to be supplied by him with musical
instruments, at a stipulated rate, to be sold in the name of Longman and
Broderip, and at their risk; and Calliford [sic] stipulated not to sell any on his
own account. After the bankruptcy, Calliford [sic] sold the instruments for
himself, conceiving the agreement to be determined by the bankruptcy. The
assignees had permitted Longman and Broderip to carry on the business for
the benefit of the estate, and gave notice to Calliford of their intention
to continue the contract, at the same time offering him security for the
instruments to be furnished.
The bill, and affidavits in support of it, stated these facts, and that
Longman and Broderip had at a great expence established the character of the
musical instruments sold by them, so as materially to increase their value.
The present was a motion before answer, (in the nature of an order to stay
waste,) to restrain the defendant from selling these instruments to any
persons but the plaintiffs, as being contrary to the agreement."

"About 1801 or 1802 John Longman left the
firm of Longman & Clementi, and set up for himself at 131, Cheapside
(Directory for 1802). He here published "A Selection for the Present Season
of the most popular Dances, Reels, Strathspeys with proper figures," in
numbers, folio, and some sheet songs, one of which has the imprint "Longman
& Co., 131, Cheapside, from 26." It is likely that he was not in business
very long. James Longman & Co., before the entrance of Lukey into the firm,
published in general small works for the guitar, violin, etc., and Country
Dances. Longman, Lukey & Co. extended the business greatly and issued larger
and more important works. In Longman & Broderip's time their publications
were practically limitless, and include a very large number (about a
hundred) of the English Operas then being produced, almost always in the
oblong folio form. The sign "Harp and Crown" appears only to have been used
in the very earliest period, before Longman & Lukey. In Longman & Broderip's
it was changed to "The Apollo." At one time Longman & Lukey's names are
found on some of John Johnson's issues, they afterwards bought his plates
for the "Padlock," and other works. The following are a few characteristic
publications of the 'different periods. J. Longman & Co., Harp and Crown,
26, Cheapside."

"LONGMAN and BRODERIP, Manufacturers of Musical Instruments,
and Music-sellers to his Royal Highness The Prince of Wales; No. 26,
Cheapside, and No. 13, Haymarket, London. Manufacture and Sell, Wholesale,
Retail, and for Exportation, by the King's Royal Letters Patent,
PATENT PIANO FORTES.
The construction ofthese Instruments exceeds all others in respect to Touch
and Simplicity of it, which can never fail in the Operation; and their
Clearess and Brilliancy of Tone is far superior to Conception. Soon as the
Hammer strikes the String, it immediately falls back; whereas, in other
Instruments, the Hammer dances on the Jack, and occasions a jarring Noice in
the Tone. They are enfily kept in Regulation, and have met the general
Approbation of the most esteemed Masters.
PATENT GRAND PIANO FORTES.
By invention of the Patent Action (though simple in its Construction), these
Instruments are now brought to the highest Perfection in respect to Touch
and Tone, with this peculiar Advantage, that the Movements will neither
rattle, stick, nor be the least affected by Change of Weather in any Climate.
A PATENT TUNING MACHINE,
Со peculiarly continuated, that Ladies. and Gentlemen may tune their
Harpsichords, Piano Fortes, Organs, Guitars, &с. with great Facility. PATENT PIANO-FORTE GUITARS,
On an entire new Principle, difl'erent from any others, and divefìed of
that aukward Appearance which the temporary Key-Box forms on the Belly of
the Instrument : The Machinery is also so curiously constructed, that it
acts with amazing Facility, and produces a Tone far beyond Conception, and
nearly equal to that of a Piano Forte. The Machinery may be drawn out with
Ease, to reflify any Impedimentin the Movement. The great Demand for them,
in preference to others, plainly evinces their superlative Degree of Merit. PORTABLE GRAND PIANO FORTES,
On a new Improvement, reduced in Size and Price conliderably under the
original Grand Piano Fortes, and univerfally admired for their peculiar
Brilliancy of Тоnе, and excellent quality of standing long in Tune.
PORTABLE CLAVECINS,
On two different Principles. Their Tones are remarkably fweet and delicate;
and their Structure renders them agreeable for travelling with, as they may
be conveyed, and even performed on, in a Coach.
CHURCH ORGANS,
Of every Dimension, Specimens of which may be seen at Hampstead Church; at
St. Gregory's Church, Old Fifth-Street, пеаг St. Paul’s; at the Manufactory
opposite the Tabernacle, TottenhamCourt-Road, and at their other
Manufactories in the City.
N.В. Parishes and Proprietors of Chapels and Concert Rooms may be
accommodated with au Organ of any Size and Price ; and, if not convenient
to make immediate Purchase, may pay an annual Rent for the same; also, if
required, an Organist will be appointed on such Terms.
MILITARY INSTRUMENTS.
Piano Fortes -
Hautboys, Flutes, and Fifes - A large Assortment of second-hand Piano
Fortes, of all Prices - Secondhand Finger and Barrel Organs - A large
Assortment of Harpsichords by various Makers, from Eight to Thirty. - Piano
Fortes in Commodes, Side Boards, and Drelling Tables, for Convenience of
small Rooms
Guitars - Pedal Harps, of the nеw Improvement - Violins, Tenors, and
Violoncellos - Balloons, Clarinets. [...]
To the Public. The Manufactories
of Longman & Broderip are such an extensive Plan, that every Instrument,
from the most trifling to the most superb and expensive, is finished under
their immediate Inspection; and their large Stock of Timber and other
Materials enables them to warrant theit Instruments thoroughly seasoned to
stand in any Climate. Organs, Harpsichords, Piano Fortes, &c. lent out,
conveyed, and tuned, in Town and Country, on the shortest Notice; and if
purchased, and Payment made within Eight months, the Hire will be abated.
Variety of second-hand Instruments and Music Books to be sold cheap. A
liberal Price given for good old Instruments, or they will be taken in
exchange. Old Instruments judiciously repaired. Music Masters of established
Reputation recommended. Mahogany and every Kind of Wood bought and sold at
their Timber-Yard and Manufactory in Tottenham-Court-Road."
Longman and Broderip, manufacturers of musical instruments ..., 1788,
p. 3
GRASSHOPPER
"GRASSHOPPER or HOPPER, in a square or upright pianoforte of ordinary
London make, is that part of the action known technically as the escapement
lever or jack, so constructed with base mortised into the key and backpiece,
that it may be taken out or replaced with the key, without disturbing the
rest of the mechanism. There is a regulating screw perforating the jack,
tongue, or fly, as it is variously called, of the grasshopper, drilled into
the backpiece and bearing a leather button, the position of which and the
pressure of a spring determine the rake of the jack, and consequently the
rise and rebound of the hammer; the rebound being further regulated by a
contrivance attached to the jack, when not an independent member, and used
for checking or arresting it after the blow. In grand pianofortes, and in
upright ones with crank lever actions, the escapement apparatus is less
easily detached from the action. It is not recorded by whom the Grasshopper
was introduced, although the escapement part of it existed in Cristofori's
'linguetta mobile'; but the tradition which attributes it to Longman and
Broderip, pianoforte makers in London, and predecessors of the firm of
Clementi and Collard, may be relied upon. John Geib patented in London in
1786 a square action with the jack, and the setting off button acting upon
the key, also, in another form, the screw holding the button perforating the
jack—but with the button in front of it. The improved form with which we are
acquainted, with the button behind the jack, was adopted by Messrs. Longman
and Broderip, and soon became general. [A.J.H.]"

musical instrument maker; for improvements in the action and
construction of upright piano-fortes. Dated March 9, 1802."

rendered portable by placing the strings in an oblique direction
fixing the first bass strings from the left-hand upper corner to near
the right-hand lower corner, and the rest of the strings in a parallel
direction. By this means an instrument standing only five feet high and
four feet wide in front will admit of the bass strings being their full
length, which is five feet two inches."

MANCHESTER -
"The sixth annual Furniture Trades Exhibition was held at the City
Exhibition Hall, Manchester, from September 27th to October 7th, and
afforded a degree of representation to the musical instrument trade and to
the trade in musical instrument dealers' sundries. Three exhibits of
pianofortes appeared. [...][...] Mr. B. Lucraft, of 33, Percy Street,
Tottenham Court Road, London, exhibited a selection of the more recent
models produced by Mr. R. Westphal of Berlin as specimens of this maker's
higher grade instruments. The group comprised overstrungs with full iron
frames and underdamper actions, which were shown as being of high class
finish throughout. A selection of pianofortes by English makers, at moderate
prices, were quite attractive by reason of their design and finish. Third
exhibit of pianofortes by English and continental makers was furnished by
Mr. Oscar Lobl of Aldersgate Street, London. These instruments were shown as
possessing special delicacy of tone and touch and as being of exceptional
value at the prices quoted."

LYON & HALL |
1909 - "Death of Mr. Hall
(Lyon & Hall). FULL of his seventy-six years, this well known Brighton music
dealer passed away last month. The status that the deceased gentleman had
long occupied in the commercial and professional life of Brighton and the
important share that he had borne in furthering its prosperity alone
entitled him to all the esteem that is rightly given to honoured citizens.
To Mr. Hall had undoubtedly been given a real personality; and it is a
saddening thought, especially to those who have for long years been
frequenters of the Brighton concert, recital and lecture rooms, to feel that
these haunts will see his familiar figure no more. A Brighton paper says
that, in connection with the household expression
«Lyon
& Hall»,
one has from time to time heard the question asked, "Who is Lyon of «Lyon &
Hall»
?" Curiously enough Mr. Hall (in conversation with the writer of this
memoir) explained the origin of the little of the firm only some three weeks
before his death. A native of Wye in Kent, Mr. Hal was studying for the
musical profession under Mr. Lyon, a musical professor at Canterbury. Mr
Lyon coceived a fancy for opening a music business and in this enterprise he
was joined by Mr. Hall (then a young man twenty-six years of age).
Accordingly a business was opened in 1859 at Warwick Mansions, East Street,
Brighton, under title of Lyon & Hall. Mr. Lyon however was never more than a
sleeping partner; and after the lapse of some years the business was made
over to Mr. Hall, though it retained the original title of Lyon & Hall. In
the hands of Mr. Hall, the business flourished exceedingly; for, apart from
his devotion to its interests, the deceased gentleman was a man of excellent
business judgment and was endowed with well directed initiative and
enterprise. This was strikingly exemplified when, in 1868, Mr. Hall (at a
fee of nearly seven hundred pounds) entered into
an arrangement with Charles Dickens to give a series of four farewell
readings at the West Street Concert Hall. Happily, the enterprise turned out
a complete success; and from this time onward the concert and entertainment
agency developed into an important branch of the music business. Another
stroke of Mr. Hall's enterprise brought the Rev. C. Bellew to Brighton to
give some of his famous readings. And there also came to the seaside town in
the early days (under the same auspices) Martin Tupper, personally to
introduce his
«Proverbial
Philosophy»
to Brightonians; and also Mr. Arthur Sketchley to tell of the doings of his
popular creation Mis. Brown." The funeral was largely attended, the Brighton
citizens assembling to show their fellow townsman their respect. We
understaod that the business will be carried on by the deceased gentleman's
son, Mr. Arthur Hall, who was for many years associated with his father."
