This video shares the results of a research project started in 2019 and completed in the fall of 2020. The anonymous eighteenth-century Germanic upright piano exhibited at Whitefield House is of great significance to American music history. It is believed to be the oldest extant American-made piano, testifying to the importance of music and the sophistication of crafts among the Moravian settlers in colonial America.
John Watson, Tom Winter, and Michele Winter thoroughly examined the piano with the intention of both uncovering the instrument’s history and creating a playable replica for the Moravian Historical Society.
Their research offers some compelling evidence about its maker and date of construction.
