I note that around WW1 and in the days when many people played and owned pianos and having frequent musical soirées, there were four companies in Corporation Street where pianos and other musical instruments could be purchased. They were William Sames, Cranes & Sons, Scotchers & Son and finally Murdoch. I don't know how long these companies lasted and if they moved where they went. I believe Crane & Co are still in business and were when I shopped there in the early 1950,s
