I've completed the restoration of this Muzio Clementi square, maker's number 9942, circa 1811.
With the exception of the original hammer coverings, which have been preserved, the action has been completely re-leathered. It has been restrung in Malcolm Rose English brass and iron, and I fabricated new overspun bass strings. Much of the ebony and brass inlay was missing, and has been replicated. The original dampers had been removed at some point, and I have used a set from an Astor square which was beyond any hope of restoration.
