The piano is almost identical in appearance and interior to the instrument described under No. 108, made by Adam Beyer in London; the only difference is the foot pedal for lifting the lid, which is present on that instrument. (It is possible that Beyer in London used a piano made by the renowned firm Meyer in Amsterdam as a model, or perhaps simply signed it.)
