Lovely video. I’m in the long process of performing restorative conservation on a 1867 Steinway Square Grand that hasn’t been touched in 70+ years. All original parts, even the strings. I called Steinway for scraps of information - they laughed in my face. But we have come so far. I am determined to finish and sound it correctly.
Hey Lucy, Maria and I couldn't believe it when we came across this. What a lovely video. Wow. So glad you've been able to keep working in this profession.
If you can find the "town" of Westerleigh , it is near yate and Chipping Sodbury, there is a secondhand shop named the Wot Not and last week there was a Broadwood square there for sale?
I know that's a Handel keyboard suite. I love them. Don't know them by number, but I know them when I hear them. This one has that romping and frolicking quality of the baroque period.
Lovely video. There are two square pianos in my local museum. One is a Longman & Broderip, obviously not made by them. I have a Cittern with their stamp.

This is one of my favorite videos on this entire website. The careful preservation of historic instruments is a sacred occupation
Didn’t realise you had a channel! Good to find it.
Quel beau travail de restauration! Bravo!
Were we listening to Henry Cowell's Aeolian Harp? Quite fitting in sound but ironic too!

Fantastic. I'm working on an 1812-ish Wilkinson & Wornum which is virtually identical, except the hitch & tuning pin locations are reversed.
That arrangement kept the instrument in tune much longer as the tuning pins were away from the vibrating soundboard
Please upload more videos about square pianos! ♡
I'm a believer. Lots of patience Great experience. Thanks.

A wonderful labor of love.
Nice video. What is the title and name of the composer of the piece being played at 5'30''?
That is the gigue from Bach's fifth French suite.
I have a Knabe Square Grand piano (1886). Can you tell me what tools I need to tune it?
Hi, Lucy here - yes, happy to help - please email me!
Greetings miss Lucy Coad,
my restorer Eros Cristini from Italy sent her an email to buy some material. Could you please answer?
Thank you.

Quelle patience vous avez de restaurer ces instruments anciens! Je me demande qui mettrait l'argent nécessaire pour un travail aussi minutieux?

I would love to work there.
It's a privelage to see your work.

Hi - Lucy here! The piece of music he played on my video is the gigue from JS Bach’s French suite No.5.
