Welcome to the website of Michael Cole, instrument maker & author

NEW: 'The First Piano in England' was claimed by Charles Burney to have been
made in Rome, and brought to London by his friend Samuel Crisp. But according to
a contemporary, William Jackson of Exeter, 'the first piano in England' was the
one he saw at the home of 'Mr. Jennings' in Great Ormond Street. To read more,

Pioneer Pianomakers in London (a paper jointly written by Michael Cole and
Margaret Debenham) for the Royal Musical Association continues to be noticed: It
has been read and/or downloaded more than 5450 times from the Taylor & Francis
academic website. Naturally, we are pleased that the stories of Plenius,
Neubauer and Vietor, who each made 'pianos' before 1765, are now more widely
known. The publishers, Routledge, allow access to this paper free of charge for
which we are grateful. So if the advent of the piano is of interest, the
information is there for you.

Margaret Debenham's informative paper on Joseph Merlin, again on the Taylor &
Francis site, has had over 4600 views.
