This is a photo of the studio where I give music lessons. The piano is a 1878 George W. Lyon cottage piano which was distributed by Lyon & Healy of Chicago. It is all original except for 1 replacement ivory and the purple cloth behind the wood carvings. The piano has a complete Dampp-Chaser humidity control system inside the piano which helps keep it in tune.
