We have a 1819 Harp Piano built by a Spanish Company in Madrid. We are searching for other harp pianos within the United States. If anyone knows of their location it would be appreciated if you could pass the info on to us. Sagtikos Manor is an historic site located in Bay Shore, NY.

This is definitely what is know as a harp piano. It was patented by the Dietz. There are several others dotted around in museums here and there. This particular instrument is from the Period Piano Company. http://www.periodpiano.com If you want more information, contact them.
