The Jack Wyatt Museum

Pianos

Below you will see the pianos in the Jack Wyatt Museum’s collection. Clicking on any of the photos will take you to a page devoted to that piano, with many more photos and commentary.

Historic pianos need special care. John R. Watson has prepared a paper called Principles of Piano Conservation where you can learn what kind of approach is most appropriate.
