'Harpsichord and Piano-Forte-maker' ca. 1782-18 39
He made his first upright pianoforte in
1794. (¹)
"The piano was introduced upon the stage in
London as a newly invented instrument in 1767 by Dibdin, and in Dublin by
Michael Arne in 1770. It had been customary thus to introduce keyed
instruments into the theatrical orchestra. A picture of the performance at
Versailles in honour of the marriage of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette
shows this—the harpsichord having the lid raised. Mozart did likewise at
Milan in 1771, and even so lately as 1826 Weber "presided at the
pianoforte," when Oberon was produced at Covent Garden, although, as that
opera had no recitatives (being only "a drama with songs"), it is not very
clear for what the instrument had been introduced. Some allusion having been
made to the progress of the piano in Dublin with Panormo and Michael Arne,
the (Sir R. Stewart) would refer to one well-known Irish artist, Wm.
Southwell, who had rendered great services to the manufacture of the
instrument, having improved the dampers, extended the compass, and invented
the upright, then termed a "cabinet piano."

(continuation)
Patent of 1837 : "To William
Southwell, of Winchester-road, Newroad, in the county of Middlesex,
pianoforte-maker, for his invention of a certain improvement in
pianofortes.— [Sealed 24th August, 1837]
This improvement is in the construction of a part of the mechanism called
the action of a pianoforte, by which the pressure exerted by the finger of
the player upon the key, is communicated to the hammer that strikes the
string and also to the damper which stops the vibrations. The improvement is
the introduction of a small tong and spring in what is called the butt; it
is designed to render the touch more delicate than in the ordinary
construction, and, consequently, to facilitate the playing of rapid passages
by ensuring the correct action of the hammer and damper.— [Inrolled in the
Inrolment Office, February, 1838.]"
