Lyon & Healy is best known as a harp maker, although it seems at least some time in the past they did produce a number of "white labeled" pianos - that is, pianos produced by a private company and labeled with the Lyon & Healy name. Unfortunately, serial number information isn't readily available online, though the Bluebook of Pianos does offer a free lookup service, if you're so inclined to inquire directly (see links for reference).
I have one that the serial number is close and it was built in 1833. Not at home so I don't have exact serial #, but this seems close.
Do you have any idea how much it is worth or any on in the market for one? Mine is a upright baby grand with ivory keys. Signed and dated on back.
Thanks for any info.

What kinds of cars will fit a Camac Athena harp?
I'm not too sure about Camacs, but I have a Lyon & Healy style 17, which is a semi-grande, and it fits great in my Nissan Murano. Also, any mini-van will fit a harp if you column-load it. When you go check out some cars at the dealerships, bring your harp cover to see if it will fit in the car. I know the Harp Column magazine (www.harpcolumn.com) puts out an extensive list of "harpmobiles" and ranks them on a number of factors. Hope I could help.
