Gisborne, Boisell & Co, Musical Instruments, Vere Street.

Mark posted this postcard under the Old Postcards Thread showing Gisborne & Boisell & Co, musical instruments at Vere Street.

The Company only lasted a few years under this style, but may have had a longer history. Has the instrument been marked after the picture was taken ?
Why the exotic picture ?

The write up suggests that the instruments were made in Bham but sold in London. Therefore would there be a more varied clientele, including visitors and immigrants from all over the world?

Maybe there is a series of postcards with different 'peoples' and their instruments.
