May 1854. PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Alfred
Waddington at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his
Petition, on the 1st May 1854. I, WILLIAM ALFRED WADDINGTON, of 44,
Stonegate, York, in the West 5 Riding of Yorkshire, Pianoforte Maker, do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for “ CERTAIN
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOUNDING BOARDS FOR PIANOFORTES AND
OTHER LIKE STRINGED INSTRUMENTS” to be as follows, that is to say : -
My Invention has simply for its object a different arrangement of the
ribs 10 for strengthening the sounding board, which ribs are placed
according to my Invention on the front of the sounding board instead of
placing them at the back thereof, whereby I obtain increased strength
and resistance to the tension of the strings.
Waddington's Impts. in the Construction of Sounding Boards for
Pianofortes, &c. SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the
Letters Patent, filed by the said William Alfred Waddington in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 1st November 1854. TO ALL TO WHOM THESE
PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM ALFRED WADDINGTON, of Stonegate, York,
in the North Riding of Yorkshire, 5 Pianoforte Maker, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the First day of May, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and fifty-four, in the seventeenth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
me, the said 10 William Alfred Waddington, Her special licence that I,
the said William Alfred Waddington, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said William Alfred Waddington, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the
term therein expressed, should and 15 lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for “CERTAIN
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOUNDING BOARDS TOR PIANOFORTES AND
OTHER LIKE STRINGED INSTRUMENTS,” upon the condition (amongst others)
that I, the said William Alfred Waddington, by an instrument in writing
under my hand and seal, should particularly describe and ascertain the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be
performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent
Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of
the said Letters Patent.
25 NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Alfred Waddington, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement thereof (that is to say) :
My Invention has simply for its object a different arrangement of the
ribs 30 for strengthening the sounding board, which ribs are placed
according to my Invention on the front of the sounding board instead of
placing them at the back thereof, whereby I obtain increased strength
and resistance to the tension of the strings.
In order that my Invention may be more fully understood, I will proceed
35 to describe the Drawings hereunto annexed, on which similar letters
denote corresponding parts.
Waddington's Impts. in the Construction of Sounding Boards for
Pianofortes, &c.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS. Figure 1 represents the front elevation of
a sounding board for an upright pianoforte constructed according to my
Invention. a, a, is the sounding board ; b, b, the ribs or strengthening
bars; and c, the strings. It will therefore ba 5 seen, by an inspection
of the Drawing, that instead of placing the ribs or bars b, b, on the
back or posterior side of the sounding board, as heretofore, I glue or
otherwise attach them to the front or anterior side of such sounding
board immediately behind the strings, whereby greater resistance to the
tension of the strings is obtained. 10 In Figure 2, which represents a
plan of a sounding board for a horizontal or grand pianoforte, it will
be observed that the ribs are on the top side of such board immediately
below the strings, instead of the under side, as heretofore.
I would also observe that I do not confine myself to the manner or
direction 15 in which such ribs are placed, as they may be either in
parallel or converging lines ; but that which I do claim as of my
Invention is, the placing such ribs or strengthening bars on the
anterior side of sounding boards for pianofortes and other like stringed
instruments, as herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Alfred Waddington, have here20
unto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-eighth day of October, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-four. WILLIAM
ALFRED WADDINGTON. (L.s.) LONDON: Printed by GEORGE EDWARD EYRE and

"UNA-CORDA, PATENT SELF-ADJUSTING PIANO-FORTE. - R.
Wales, 33, Charles-street, Hampstcad Road, near the end of
Tottenham-court-road, Inventor and Manufacturer of the above unique
Instrument, solicits the attention of the Musical Profession and the Public
in general. The Una-Corda Piano-Forte is strung throughout with steel-wire,
by which an equal temperament is preserved; and having only one string to
each note, the insufferable discordance, occasioned by bad unisons, is
entirely removed. It possesses a quality of tone superior in strength and
sweetness to Piano-Fortes manufactured on the old principle ; it is found to
stand years in tune; the strings are not liable to break, on account of
their thickness and strength. Added to which, the tuning pins, being
perforated strings, may be put on by the most delicate hand. R. W.
manufactures also, on the lowest terms, Cabinet, Grand, and Square
Piano-Fortes on the most approved principles."

found to stand in tune from One to Eight Years; the Inventor solicits the

highly-esteemed Piano-fortes, N.B. Old Instruments taken in Exchange."

SALE of his highly-approved INSTRUMENTS, on the Patent Spring Una-Corda (or

" WALES'S NEW PATENT
QUADRILATERAL GRAND PIANO-FORTE. - R. WALES, Inventor and Manufacturer of
the Patent Spring Una-corda Self-adjusting Piano-forte, respectfully invites
the Musical Profession, Amateurs, and the Patrons of Art in general, to the
inspection of a Square Piano-forte upon an entirely novel principle,
embracing all the advantages in tone and action of a Grand Piano, and
obviating, by the extreme compactness and elegance of its construction, the
objection to which the clumsy and unaccommodating form of the Horizontal
Grand Piano-forte has hitherto been subject. R. Walks lias been for some
years engaged in the construction of this Square Instrument upon the Grand
principle—an object, till now, considered unattainable; and in the confident
anticipation of Public Patronage, submits it to general inspection at his
Ware Rooms, No. 11, Red Lion Square, Holborn."

"Cheap Pianoforte.—Cheapness is extending,
like a new sunrise, over all the branches of the arts cud sciences. We paid
a visit, last week, to Warren's Pianoforte Manufactory, Leadenhall Street,
and were much surprised to find a capital new instrument, purchaseable at
twenty guineas. We also saw some Piccolos, very superiorly made, at eighteen
guineas. This is cheapness with a vengeance, and must ensure an
extraordinary sale. We should like to know whence Mr. Warren's profits can
come. Pianofortes new, and really good, at the above prices, is a type of
the present antimonopolizing times, when men will sacrifice themselves to
outdo their neighbours. We hope Mr. Warren does make a profit."

TAUGHT ON A NEW AND SUPERIOR PRINCIPLE. - To grown-up Ladies and

The Surrender of Toulon, 4s.; The Lord's Prayer, 2-;.; My Mother, 1s.
6d.; and He's dear, dear to me, as sung by Miss Duncan, &c. &c. gives
Lessons in Singing, and on the Piano Forte, to grown up Ladies and
Gentlemen in particular, who had not an opportunity of learning before;
the utmost secresy (if required) maybe depended on. He finds from
experience that his method, which is quite new, will enable the pupil to
play tolerable well in sixteen lessons, though they may not have learnt
before. His Gamut for Singing is new, and particularly adapted for the
voice. He has entirely laid aside the Italian Gamut, as being de
trimental to the voice, in female voices particularly. N. B. Mr. Watlen
keeps a few of the very best Grand and Square Piano-Fortes, Harps, &c.
at his house, by all the most esteemed makers, at fifteen per cent,
under the shop, price; of which the public has already profited by his
having already selected some hundreds for their use."

Patent of 1865 :
"June
15, 1865. - G. E. WAY. Improved metal plate in cross-strung square pianos,
with repetition action.
"
The History of the Pianoforte: With an Account of
the Theory of Sound and ..., Edgar Brinsmead, 1889, p. 218
- or -
"A.D. 1865, June 15. — N°
1623. Way, George Edgar. — (A communication from Maurice Vergnes.) —
Improvements in the manufacture of pianofortes. These improvements have
reference to two former inventions, for which see Abridgments dated
respectively April 20th, 1864, No. 992, and July 4th, 1864, No. 1662 : By
the present improvements a good length of string is obtained for square
pianofortes, while the width of the case is little more than the length of
the key-board; a good repetition action is also secured, and a simple means
of adjusting the touch is provided. The strings are carried by an open
rectangular metal frame, in which the wrest planks are fixed. Beneath the
frame is the sound board of a rectangular form to fill the space enclosed by
the case or nearly so. The bridge for the middle and treble strings extends
in a curved line from the further left-hand corner of the sound board to the
right-hand side of the instrument near the treble wrest plank, and the lower
bass strings cross the other strings at a sufficient height to be clear of
the bridge;
|
'Pianoforte-maker' ? ca.
1864-65
(continuation)
they pass from the near left corner of
the frame to a short bridge at the further right corner of the frame and
thence to a wrest plank. In the improved action, the hammer is held up
by a spring connected to the butt, and when at its highest position it
bears against the under side of the key; it is acted on by a hopper
which is jointed to a piece fixed to the under side of the key. This
piece carries also a bracket, which serves as a guide for a screw pin
and adjusting button projecting horizontally from the back of the
hopper. Projecting from the back rail is a bracket, to which is jointed
a padded back check held in a perpendicular position by a small spring;
an arm of the check carries a screw pin, at the upper end of which is a
button coming into contact with a pad on the under side of the key. In
order to lift the key to its normal position its rear end is connected
by a cord to a metal spring mounted on the back rail."

"Wheatstone's Ten Guinea
Harmonium, manufactured expressly for churches, chapels, schools, &c., is
made on a greatly-Improved construction, combines all the latest
Improvements, and is manufactured solely by them. It has the compass of five
octaves, an expression stop, and possesses a powerful rich quality of tone,
answers with the greatest rapidity to the touch, and can be produced loud or
soft at pleasure. It has a substantial oak case, can be warranted in every
respect, and is indispensable to the school-room, singing-class, etc. The
Ten Guinea Harmonium will be taken in exchange for any more expensive ones
at full price if required. The more expensive Harmoniums, with from three to
ten stops, range from 16 to 30 guineas. They are equally adapted to the
church or drawing-room. For the former, it will be found most valuable, and
in many respects preferable to the organ. Messrs. WHEATSTONE obtained the
only Great Exhibition Prize for Harmoniums in 1851.The MECHANICAL and FINGER
HARMONIUM, which can be used mechanically or not, without any preparation.
This is a perfectly new invention of Messrs. Wheatstone and Co., and can be
aeen only at their warerooms. This instrument will be found to be
particularly useful when the Harmonium performer cannot always attend. The
PIANO HARMONIUM is made expressly for playing by the same performer with tho
Pianoforte. Price Twelve Guineas. Messrs. WHEATSTONE and CO., have Just
received a large assortment of the ALEXANDRE HARMONIUM, for which Messrs.
Alexandre et Flls received the French medal of honour. Including the
different Instruments with and without the percussion action, and that with
the expression a la main, at reduced prices. These Harmoniums have been
brought to the greatest perfection, and are equally adapted as an
accompaniment to the voice or pianoforte, and have been pronounced the best
by Adam, Auber, Liszt, Rossini, Thalberg. &c. Also the SIX GUINEA HARMONIUM,
or rather Seraphlne, with 4 octaves, suitable for Sunday-schools and small
Binging-classes. WHEATSTONE and CO., 20, Conduit-street, Regent-street,

& Co
(*1857)
Patent of 1836 : "July
27, 1836. — Charles Wheatstone. Continuous sounds produced from pianoforte
strings or springs, by means of currents of air which pass through apertures
slightly wider than the body the air vibrates."
The History of the Pianoforte, Edgar Brinsmead, 1879,
p. 205 (archive.org) - or - "A.D. 1836, July 27. — N° 7164. WHEATSTONE,
Charles, and GREEN, John. — A new method or methods of forming musical
instruments in which "continuous sounds are produced from strings, wires, or
springs.
1.
In this method of forming musical instruments continuous sounds are produced
from strings, wires, or springs (stretched between fixed supports at their
ends) "by means of a current of "air, which is directed upon a limited
portion of the vibrating "length of the particular string, wire, or spring
from which "continuous sound is for the time being required to be produced."
By continuous sounds are meant those sounds which may be continued "so long
as the exciting cause is applied, as those of "the organ or violin, in
contradistinction to abrupt and evanescent "sounds, as those of the
pianoforte or harp." The aforesaid portion of the vibrating length of the
string, wire, or spring must be adapted or adjusted "to a slit or linear
aperture through "which the current of air passes, and the width of which
must "be a little greater than the diameter of the said string, wire, "or
spring." Various methods of producing these sounds are described.
2.
A method whereby a hammer "such as is used in piano "fortes" is caused to
strike each string, wire, or spring at the same instant that the valve is
opened to act upon the same.
3.
A method whereby continuous sounds corresponding to different notes of the
musical scale are produced from the same string, wire, or spring by means of
a current of air.
4.
A method whereby in addition to 3, the same pressure of the finger (with or
without the intervention of a stop), which causes the vibrating length of
such string, &c. to be shortened, also causes a simultaneous opening of the
valve, by which the wind is allowed to act on the string, &c.
5.
A method wherein the wind chest is divided by a partition into two
compartments, each furnished with valves so arranged in respect to the
bellows, that the current or currents of air by which continuous sounds are
to be produced is always forced in the same direction through each aperture
to which a string, &c. is adjusted, as well when the bellows is in the act
of being drawn out as when it is being pressed in."

1840 - "The unique piano forte was introduced about thirty years ago by Messrs.
Wilkinson and Wornum, and was the invention and patent of the latter. This
instrument met the taste of the day for instruments of Utile altitude; it
did not stand higher than three feet three inches, and the strings were all
placed diagonally towards the lloor; the action was simple and effective,
but it is not now under manufacture. Numerous inventions and improvements
appeared about this time, some of which were patented, and some not; but we
cannot say more concerning them than that they were productions with
scarcely a difference, and calculated merely to gratify their several makers
with a variety of their own; for their powers and peculiarities were all
much to the same effect under the finger of a performer: indeed we had no
decidedly new thing until the double or Piccolo action appeared. This was
the invention of Mr. Wornum, and patented by him some ten or twelve years
ago; it is applicable to both upright and horizontal instruments, and is now
extensively manufactured in Europe and America."

'Pianoforte-maker' and music publisher ca. 1799-1830
WILKINSON & BRODERIP
(1798)
"Broderip & Wilkinson. Broderip, who was
without doubt Robert Broderip, the musician, organist at Bristol, and son of
John Broderip, of Wells, had been partner in the great firm of Longman and
Broderip, which came to grief some time about 1798. This firm had two places
of business, one at 26, Cheapside, and the other at 13, Haymarket. Longman
founded another business at the Cheapside address, while Broderip entering
into partnership with Wilkinson took over the Haymarket premises. Broderip
and Wilkinson are first-named in the Directory for 1799 and retain a place
till 1808. In 1809, the firm is set down as Wilkinson & Co., and it seems
evident that Broderip was dead; after 1810 this disappears. The following
extract (kindly forwarded by Mr. F. G. Edwards) from the Morning Chronicle,
of January 11th, 1811, proves that Wilkinson & Co. did not remain long in
existence after the death of Broderip, and also shows what became of the
stock and plates: — T. Preston, 97, Strand, acquaints amateurs, etc., that
he has just purchased the entire stock, etc, of Wilkinson & Co., late
Broderip & Wilkinson, of the Hay-market.
Robert Broderip, born at Wells in 1750, died May 14th, 1808, at Bristol, the
year which tallies with the absence of the name from the music firm,
affording considerable confirmation that he was the senior partner in it.
Broderip & Wilkinson did not hold a very large business, publishing
principally sheet music, with an occasional tutor for the harpsichord,
violoncello, etc. One piece of sheet music is a rondo on the air, If a body
meet a body, by Robert Broderip, and some glees taken from Scott's poetry,
by Dr. Clarke, of Cambridge, are among music issued by Wilkinson & Co.,
late Broderip & Wilkinson."

partnership carried on between us the undersigned George Wilkinson and
Robert Wornum, in the trade or bussiness of Piano-Forte-Manufacturers, at
No. 315, Oxford Street, and 11, Princes-Street, Hanover-Square, is this day
dissolved by mutual consent. - Witness our hands this day 3d day of march

The London Gazette, 09/03/1813, p. 489
"The unique pianoforte was next introduced by Messrs. Wilkinson & Wornum. This
instrument, although suited to the taste of the day, did not content its
inventor, Mr. Wornum, who soon after produced the piccolo, which, in a short
time, exceeded all its predecessors in popularity."

" WILLIS
AND CO., No. 75, Lower Grosvenor Street, (near Bond Street.) London,
respectfully solicit the attention of the lovers of the Pianoforte to their
splendid assortment of Table Pianopontes, in Maple Zebra, Rosewood, and
Mahogany Cases, recently consigned to them by the Patentee—who has appointed
them sole agents in London, for the sale of these instruments, in which will
be found a combination of the whole of the latest inventions of M. PAPE.
They possess a brilliancy and power of tone far beyond that of the square
pianoforte, with a three-fold advantage—that of occupying no more room than
an ordinary table—of placing a musical party in the centre of the room— and
of giving the performer at the pianoforte the entire command of the persons
accompanying, either vocal or instrumental, the lid on the side opposite to
the performer falling back, and forming an excellent music desk.
The improvements and advantages derived from them are too numerous and
important for the limits of an advertisement. The superiority of their tone,
the simplicity and strength of their mechanism, and the beauty and elegance
of their form, and external appearance, render them well worthy of the high
character they have established, both on the Continent, and in this country.

"By his
Majesty's Royal Letters Patent.
ROBERT WOLF & CO.'S
PICOLO AND GRAND SQUARE PIANO-FORTES,
WITH PATENT TRANSVERSE STRINGS, And GRAND PIVOT ACTION, 79, CORNHILL,
LONDON.
Robert Wolf & Co. respectfully invite the attention of the Musical
Profession and the Public to their Newly-invented Picolo, and Grand Square
Piano-fortes, with Patent Transverse Strings, and Grand Pivot Action, which
are offered at prices not greater than Instruments ot similar exterior made
on common principles.
This novel and efficient improvement, for which His Majesty's Royal Letters
Patent have been obtained, is designed to obviate certain difficulties,
experienced by all Piano-Forte Makers in the attempt to combine power with
sweetness of quality, in Picolo and Square Pianos ; and these difficulties,
after a long course of experiments, they have completely overcome by the
following simple invention.
The upper or Treble strings are drawn across the instrument, similar to
those on the Horizontal Grand Piano and the Bass strings being drawn over
them, and placed on a bridge behind, are increased in length, and thus a
more equal distribution of pressure on the Sound-Board, which passes over
the whole area of the instrument, being obtained, the extent of vibratory
surface is considerably increased, and a wider space for the Action,
constructed on the principle of that of the Horizontal Grand, much
simplified, being afforded, a more direct and equal blow from the hammer,
and that delicacy of touch which is justly appreciated by an accomplished
performer, is satisfactorily effected.
As the limits of this notice will not admit an adequate description of all
the important advantages which arise out of this invention in the
construction of these Piano-Fortes, and convinced of their superior elegance
and convertibility in point of form, Rorert Wolf nnd Co. solicit the favor
of personal inspection at their Ware Rooms, (late Gerock, Astor, and Co's,)
79, Cornhill, London."

The Pupils being under the eye of a skilful Pianist for two hours, are
not onlyconducted through a considerable portion of Theory, united with
Practice, but are made to comprehend and execute at the same instant,
the three important considerations of the Pianist—Construction,
Execution, and proper Fingering of the Piece.
VOCALISATION - forms a very important feature in this System of Tuition.
The younger Pupils, as well as the older, receive Lessous in Singiug
from the commencement, in the most approved Italian manner.
From the regular habit of practising the scales in plain notes and
passages of ornament, as well as in Songs, Duets, Trios. &c , the voice
acquires a Firmness of Tone, and Flexibility of Execution, unattainable
by any other means; and from the continuance of such exercises.
A SUPERIOR STYLE OF SINGING - is progressively formed, as fully evinced
by the performances of the Pupils of the Academies.
This new system has often been resorted to,for the finish of Pupils, who
had received previous instruction from other Masters and Professors; but
it is much better (where practicable ) to place children under this
method of Tuition from the first; thus affording the greater certainty
of the musical powers being developed in the highest degree; and
although these superior advantages are here proposed, the Terms
mentioned will be found (considering the time devoted,) much less
expensive than those of any other Teacher profeauing claims to
respectability.
Notice of a PupiCs discontinuing Lestons, is particularly requested.

LONDON -
"Mr. Wornum contributes a small bichord
grand, called the “ Albion ” grand. The peculiarity of this instrument
is, that it has a down-striking action, patented by the maker in 1842.
There is no metallic bracing to this piano, and it affords a good
example of how much the introduction of the downstriking principle would
simplify and cheapen the instruments of this form, as Mr. Stodart’s does
in reference to the Square. A piccolo upright, 6¾ octaves, C to A, by
the same maker, is a good specimen of the first form of low upright,
with vertical strings. The peculiar action of the piccolo, patented by
Mr. Wornum, in 1829, has been extensively followed by foreign makers."

PARIS -
"Mr. R. Wornum has sent grand and square pianos and a piccolo; the latter is
a capital instrument. With regard to the first named, on opening the piano
it will be found to present a different appearance from other instruments.
The absence of "metal bracings" will be noticed, and it will be found that
the instrument is constructed on what is known as the down striking
principle, in contradistinction to the "up blow" in general use. This
principle appears to have been invented so early as 1774, and amongst its
advantages it appears that the employment of iron may be avoided. It will be
readily understood that a piano constructed entirely of wood can be produced
at a comparatively moderate price. The grand and square pianos exhibited by
Mr. Wornum are constructed on a plan based upon this system. The price of
the grand is 135 guineas."

"12. Messrs. Wornum have conserved their original form of construction of

LONDON -
"Pianofortes were to be seen in cases of tulip wood, satin wood, walnut,
mahogany, and ebony, of every size and description, including a pocket
grand pianoforte, 5 feet 4 inches long, manufactured by Messrs. Wornum.
After a careful examination of the various specimens, it became clear
that the plainer the instrument as regards its exterior adornment, the
more suitable and elegant it appears. A large grand pianoforte is always
a prominent piece of furniture in a room, and when this obtrusiveness is
increased by over-colouring or by too much ornamentation, it becomes
positively offensive to the eye, especially if the apartment in which it
stands is small or fully furnished."

usual German method of “cross-stringing,” in that, whilst the strings are
arranged parallel, their lengths are not reduced, and it allows the ironwork
in particular and the construction in general to be simpler and of less
weight. It also does away with the necessity of widening the front of the
case. The action is withdrawn from the bass side, leaving the keys and “
damper action” in position.

"Piano-fortes.
The forms of piano-fortes have been lately much improved, so that they
now harmonise with the general forms of drawingroom furniture better
than they ever did before. The first step in the road to this desirable
end was made by the manufacturer Stodart, who invented the upright and
cabinet pianos about the beginning of the present century; and the last
by Wormum, Store Street, London, in the year 1833. This last
manufacturer, in that year, exhibited a piano-forte that could hardly be
distinguished from a library table. The piano-fortes of this maker,
which are most frequently used, are the two sizes, figs. 1961 and 1962
[see at the left side]: one of the smallest size, exhibited in fig.
1962, costs from thirty-six to fifty-five guineas; and one of the
largest, shown in fig. 1962, costs from fifty to one hundred guineas.
The first instrument is three feet four inches, and the second six feet
six inches, in height. There are numerous other forms of piano-fortes
and organs; and also of what are called harmonics, which produce music
by machinery. The advantages of Wornum's instruments are, that, with the
same degree of tone and excellence, in a musical point of view, as the
horizontal pianos, and with the convenient form of the upright pianos,
they are finished behind in such a manner as to have a handsome effect
whichever side is presented to the company. - The old upright and
cabinet pianos were generally placed against walls."

1844 -
"The Unique Pianoforte was introduced
about thirty years ago by Messrs. Wilkinson and Wornum, and was the
invention and patent of the latter gentleman. This instrument met the
taste of the day for instruments of little altitude; it did not stand
higher than three feet three inches, and the strings were all placed
diagonally towards the floor; the action was simple and effective, but
it did not content the mind of its most ingenious inventor, and in a
short time gave way to a new proof of his mechanical and philosophical
genius, in the production of the Piccolo Pianoforte, which he (Mr.
Wornum) patented about twelve or thirteen years ago, and which is now
perhaps the most popular Piano in the four quarters of the world. Its
action is equally applicable to both upright and horizontal instruments,
and, for delicacy of tone, and promptness of touch, it has not yet been
surpassed. The perseverance of Mr. Wornum’s mechanical genius has at
length succeeded in producing a downstriking action, which is by far the
most ingenious of modern improvements in the Pianoforte, inasmuch as
both tone and touch are wonderfully improved by it,-a result exactly the
reverse of the foreign application of the same action."

"746. The first of the now generally
adopted obliquely strung upright Pianofortes, patented to Robert Wornum,
of the firm of Wilkinson & Wornum, in 1811. - Messrs. Wornum & Sons. The
large factory in Oxford Street, in which this instrument was made, is
shown by an engraving within the lid. This factory was burnt down in
October 1812, and the partnership was then dissolved. In the following
year Robert Wornum made the first successful “Cottage” pianoforte, with
vertical stringing, to which he gave the name of “The Harmonic
Pianoforte.” He accomplished this by discarding entirely the use of
brass wires, and adopting the closely-spun copper-covered strings in
their stead.
747. A Model of the Elastic Tie Action of the Piccolo Pianoforte,
patented by Robert Wornum in 1826. - Messrs. Wornum & Sons. The
mechanism of this pianoforte is still very generally adopted in France
and Germany, as well as in England.
748. A Model of Robert Wornum's method of returning the hammer, in his
down-striking Action for Horizontal Grand and Square Pianofortes,
patented in 1842. - Messrs. Wornum & Sons. This action greatly
economises the cost of manufacture. The usual actions are up-striking.

MUSIC HALL
1834 -
"NEW MUSIC-HALL. We were invited the other day to a private opening of this
new temple of Apollo; occupying part of the extensive premises of Mr.
Wornum's pianoforte-manufactory in Store Street, Bedford Square, and
constructed solely with reference to musical habitancy. Its dimensions are —
80 feet in length, 37 feet in breadth, and from 37 to 50 feet in height. The
orchestra, which is a fixture, appears to be conveniently constructed with
reference to the display of an instrumental band, and is of smaller extent
than that of the Hanover Square Rooms. Behind and above it, is a kind of
reflector, intended to assist in conveying musical sounds to the remote
corners of the room. The walls, as well as every thing within them, are at
present undecorated; there is nothing which can absorb or hinder the
transmission of sound, but every thing to facilitate its propagation; and,
hence, we have no doubt that a band of the same size would produce a more
powerful effect in this building than in any other concert-room in London.
Three rows of boxes front the orchestra, and over these is a gallery. We
experimented upon the room in various places; and we are bound to say, that
in no music-room of the same size has the architect so completely achieved
his purpose. The slightest inflections of the voice are not only audible,
but distinct and full even at the remotest corner of the gallery. The room
is said to be capable of holding one thousand persons: we doubt this,,
unless they were packed like the Livery in a crowded Common Hall; but it is
large enough to hold molt audiences, and large enough for comfortable
hearing.
The concert was not worth particular notice as a performance. We presume
most of the singers and players were amateurs; and we were not able to
derive much entertainment from hearing young ladies and gentlemen try their
inexperienced voices upon 'Di tanti palpiti', "Bell' imago," and other
hacknied pieces of the same school."
The Spectator, Volume 7, 01/02/1834, p. 108
1836 -
"The
ROYAL Music-hall, 16, Store Street Bedford Square. This noble Music-room
is capable of accommodation from 800 to 1.000 persons, has numerous
anti-rooms, and other requisites of accomodation. It has been built
expressly for Morning and Evening Concerts, and may be engaged for other
public meetings of sufficient character. The terms are exceedingly
moderate, and may be had on the premises; or at the pianoforte
manufactory of Mr. Wornum, adjoining."

George's Churches, conducted a musical academy on the Logerian system. He
published some anthems, chants, and other pieces. Two psalm tunes, in the
fugue style, of his composition, called "St. John" and "St. Nicholas," were
very popular when the writer was a boy. Wrenshall died in March, 1854, aged

WRIGHT Hermond |
"Wright
& Co. Hermond or Harman Wright, in partnership with a person named
Wilkinson (possibly the Wilkinson who afterwards was a partner with
Broderip), succeeded Elizabeth Randall at Walsh's old shop in Catherine
Street, Strand ; this was some time between 1781 and 1784. John Walsh,
the younger, when he died, must have left an enormous stock, and no
doubt both Randall and Wilkinson will have sold from it extensively,
occasionally reprinting, from the original plates, works in demand. The
works of Handel were always saleable, and Wright & Co. re-printed these
very largely. They of course re-issued and published works by other
composers, and their imprint is found on many detached pieces of music
and songs. In 1789 the directory shows Harman Wright alone at 13,
Catherine Street, and he remained here until at least 1799. In 1802 the
directory shows that he had removed to 386, Strand ; after this I lose
trace of him."
