Cornish and Company Piano
Built in 1899 in Washington NJ
Model: Columbia
Has an effects pedal also known as a “Banjo Pedal”. Four foot pedals in all from left to right: Piano, Pianissimo, Orchestral (Banjo Pedal), Sustaining pedal.
This would need to a little work to play but is a grand example of the craftsmanship of the time. Beautiful turn of the century carved details all around with decorative flourishes even on the pin block and bridge.

This was collected by a Dartmouth music major and bequeathed to us when he moved to Japan 20 years ago and has since never been recollected.
Will help arrange transport from Wilder VT
