[Bcma-l] 1855 Broadwood Square Grand Piano

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

Hi Larry,

She would like to donate the piano to an interested museum.

Also, regarding your request for help in dating the photo - I'm pretty sure
we have a copy of the same photo - maybe we have others that can provide
clues for you - I will take a look around.

Sincerely,

Wanda Mizner
