Upright Piano

This upright piano was made by Robert and William Nunns in New York, New York about 1830. It is a small cottage piano about 42 inches high. The metal frame would suggest that this piano was modernized at some time. This piano is serial number 1223 and has a compass of FF-f4, tape-check upright action, felt hammers, single-strings, some wound, 2 pedals: keyboard shift and dampers, metal frame, straight-strung, and a mahogany (veneer?) case
