1840 - "The unique piano forte was introduced about thirty years ago by Messrs. Wilkinson and Wornum, and was the invention and patent of the latter. This instrument met the taste of the day for instruments of Utile altitude; it did not stand higher than three feet three inches, and the strings were all placed diagonally towards the lloor; the action was simple and effective, but it is not now under manufacture. Numerous inventions and improvements appeared about this time, some of which were patented, and some not; but we cannot say more concerning them than that they were productions with scarcely a difference, and calculated merely to gratify their several makers with a variety of their own; for their powers and peculiarities were all much to the same effect under the finger of a performer: indeed we had no decidedly new thing until the double or Piccolo action appeared. This was the invention of Mr. Wornum, and patented by him some ten or twelve years ago; it is applicable to both upright and horizontal instruments, and is now extensively manufactured in Europe and America."

WILKINSON & BRODERIP (1798)

"Broderip & Wilkinson. Broderip, who was without doubt Robert Broderip, the musician, organist at Bristol, and son of John Broderip, of Wells, had been partner in the great firm of Longman and Broderip, which came to grief some time about 1798. This firm had two places of business, one at 26, Cheapside, and the other at 13, Haymarket. Longman founded another business at the Cheapside address, while Broderip entering into partnership with Wilkinson took over the Haymarket premises. Broderip and Wilkinson are first-named in the Directory for 1799 and retain a place till 1808. In 1809, the firm is set down as Wilkinson & Co., and it seems evident that Broderip was dead; after 1810 this disappears. The following extract (kindly forwarded by Mr. F. G. Edwards) from the Morning Chronicle, of January 11th, 1811, proves that Wilkinson & Co. did not remain long in existence after the death of Broderip, and also shows what became of the stock and plates: — T. Preston, 97, Strand, acquaints amateurs, etc., that he has just purchased the entire stock, etc, of Wilkinson & Co., late Broderip & Wilkinson, of the Hay-market.
Robert Broderip, born at Wells in 1750, died May 14th, 1808, at Bristol, the year which tallies with the absence of the name from the music firm, affording considerable confirmation that he was the senior partner in it.
Broderip & Wilkinson did not hold a very large business, publishing principally sheet music, with an occasional tutor for the harpsichord, violoncello, etc. One piece of sheet music is a rondo on the air, If a body meet a body, by Robert Broderip, and some glees taken from Scott's poetry, by Dr. Clarke, of Cambridge, are among music issued by Wilkinson & Co., late Broderip & Wilkinson."

1893 - "The galvanic piano is being introduced into this country by Messrs. Willeringhaus, of 13, Hamsell Street, Aldersgate Street, where it may be inspected. The invention is exciting considerable interest, and it seems to be one from which pianists who spend any considerable time at the instrument may derive a certain benefit. The German rights have been purchased by Messrs. Richard Lipp and Sohn, an eminent firm of pianoforte manufacturers in Stuttgart, and who are making the instruments for Messrs. Willeringhaus and Co."

"By his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent.
ROBERT WOLF & CO.'S
PICOLO AND GRAND SQUARE PIANO-FORTES, WITH PATENT TRANSVERSE STRINGS, And GRAND PIVOT ACTION, 79, CORNHILL, LONDON.
Robert Wolf & Co. respectfully invite the attention of the Musical Profession and the Public to their Newly-invented Picolo, and Grand Square Piano-fortes, with Patent Transverse Strings, and Grand Pivot Action, which are offered at prices not greater than Instruments ot similar exterior made on common principles.
This novel and efficient improvement, for which His Majesty's Royal Letters Patent have been obtained, is designed to obviate certain difficulties, experienced by all Piano-Forte Makers in the attempt to combine power with sweetness of quality, in Picolo and Square Pianos ; and these difficulties, after a long course of experiments, they have completely overcome by the following simple invention.
The upper or Treble strings are drawn across the instrument, similar to those on the Horizontal Grand Piano and the Bass strings being drawn over them, and placed on a bridge behind, are increased in length, and thus a more equal distribution of pressure on the Sound-Board, which passes over the whole area of the instrument, being obtained, the extent of vibratory surface is considerably increased, and a wider space for the Action, constructed on the principle of that of the Horizontal Grand, much simplified, being afforded, a more direct and equal blow from the hammer, and that delicacy of touch which is justly appreciated by an accomplished performer, is satisfactorily effected.
As the limits of this notice will not admit an adequate description of all the important advantages which arise out of this invention in the construction of these Piano-Fortes, and convinced of their superior elegance and convertibility in point of form, Rorert Wolf nnd Co. solicit the favor of personal inspection at their Ware Rooms, (late Gerock, Astor, and Co's,) 79, Cornhill, London."
