Our piano now in NZ

Serial Number 61476

 

Brought new to Jersey in 1907 by Donaldson Brothers, 2, 4 &6 Belmont Road,

St Helier, Jersey.

 

Early purchase history unknown but it was supposedly used at the little playhouse theatre in New Street, St Helier for some time.

 

During the German Occupation of Jersey 1940 to 1945 it was used by the SS Officers at ‘Silvertide’, Harve Des Pas St Helier Jersey for their entertainment. The property was the SS headquarters for the Gestapo also known to be a brothel for SS officers.

A German SS officer’s name was found inside the piano denoting the dates he had tuned it during the five years of the occupation.

 

During the 1950’s it was tuned regularly by McKees of Beresford St, St Helier.

 

During the 1960’s it was tuned by W. Jepson & Son of Manor Park Road, La Pouqulaye, St Helier.

 

During the 1990’s it was tuned by Scrivan’s Piano Centre, 72 Bath St St helier.

 

Marianne’s piano purchased in 1996 was shipped to New Zealand in 2010.

 

It has a cast iron frame, is straight strung and was tuned to A440 in 1999 which is excellent.

Some new piano bridle straps fitted in 2016.

(Complete set of new spare bridle straps stored inside of piano).
