The keyboard compass is 73 keys (FF-f4) with ivory naturals and ebony accidentals. Two brass pivoting candleholders flank the keyboard. There are three wooden pedals, the right raises the dampers, the center shifts the action for an una corda, and the left opens swell shutters that are on the back of the piano. On the back of the soundboard is the signature (dated 1831) of William Moore and the keyboard is signed by David Boggs. Boggs and Moore were members of the Society of Journeymen Cabinet-Makers.
