| Description |
Single sheet large folio with lithographed front view of the instrument ("The Improved Pianoforte "). The distinguishing feature of the euphonicon is that the iron harp frame projects from the body on the left, such that the bass strings are open to view. It also has unusual stringing and tuning arrangements, and an early example of drop-action. Steward was Master of the Band belonging to the Cavan Regiment of Militia. |
