I do have a number of early pianofortes in my collection. These may become available for sale upon occasion. Inquiries welcomed.

1798 five octave John Broadwood and Son (London) square piano from the period of George III. This is an exceptional instrument in pristine, top museum quality condtion.
1797 William Bent (Boston) five and a half octave square pianoforte. This instrument is of special interest as there were very few eighteenth century pianos made in America, and there are even fewer still in existence. Cabinet is in unrestored condition, mostly original strings and pins.
Circa 1822-1825 Edward Ball (London) five and a half octave square. In good condition and could be made playable with a little work. Available for sale at $1800.  Also in the collection:  Five and a half octave George III English grand pianoforte, missing many parts. A replacement keyboard, also very old, has been installed. A hard to come by late eighteenth century grand pianoforte somewhat similar to the Broadwoods of the period. Some features indicate that it may possibly be a Stodart. Research is now in progress to try and solve the mystery of the maker's identity.  Price available upon request, air shipment to the UK could possibly be arranged. 1800 John Broadwood and Son (London) five and a half octave square pianoforte. Very similar to the 1798 Broadwood square. Nameboard cartouche reads "John Broadwood and Son / Makers to His Majesty and the Princesses / Great Pulteney Street / London / Golden Square ".  Case mahogany with inlaid stringing.  Available for sale at $3700.                                    James Ball and Son five and a half octave square circa 1819-22, rosewood and mahogany with boxwood stringing. Nameboard reads " James Ball & Son / Makers to his Majesty / Duke Street / Grovsenor Square". Available for purchase at $3200.
