Piano Available | Susan Schroeder susanrschroeder@gmail.com
I have inherited a Wilkens & Newhall square grand piano (No 1210, made in Boston in 1932-36, which came to California over the isthmus of Panama in about 1850-52. It has been in my family since then, most of the time in Sonoma County. I would like to donate the piano to an historic home or museum. It has been rekeyed and re pegged, so that it will hold a tuning, but the action needs work (due to original leather hinges, etc.) It is in excellent condition, no real mars, all original ivory keys, etc.
I also have a "calling suit" for a woman from 1870's complete with bustle, and hat which I would be happy to donate as well.
It is possible for you to send a notice to your members about this? I need to find a home for it fairly soon.
Welcome to the CONFERENCE of California Historical Societies. CCHS was founded in 1954 as a federation of historical societies, museums, libraries, and other history-oriented groups and individuals. CCHS helps historians, and others who are interested in history, to connect and share information -- joining efforts. CCHS also helps local societies and small museums with skills in management, acquisition, preservation, and restoration techniques.
