An 85-key grand piano in a rosewood case with spruce soundboard, the maker's mark "Collard & Collard" on the back panel above the keyboard, the instrument serial #16645 and the case #176.Narrative
This piano was made in England during the mid to late 1880's. It was acquired by The Castle Society for use by visitors and for concerts in Craigdarroch. Consequently, it is not part of the museum's collection of artifacts.
The 85-note keyboard design was common in the 1860's but is unusual for the 1880's.
