RE: Lincoln in PA
Sorry, I meant to post yesterday but work intefered. I won't let that happen again!
This is from a few different sources:
The grandson of the person who later repaired the piano says "It was placed back into Laura Keene’s residence. she never touched it’s keys again."
"The piano that was in the Theater that night reportedly was kept in a warehouse in NYC for 100 years, with a hole in the top “like someone put their foot through it”. in 1966 or so, it went to Aeolyan American Piano Works (Rochester,NY) for repair. "
On page 185 of Laura Keene, by Ben Graf Henneke there is a picture of the piano. Henneke says ""The piano photographed here was displayed in the now defunct Chickering Piano Exhibit as Laura Keene's. Whether it was or not, Chickering & Sons President said no one could attest. This piano was destroyed by fire". He attributes that information to B.F. Brooks, Jr., President of Chickering & Sons, 1972-1973.
