He may have been the first maker of square pianos to use an internal cover in the instrument that is believed to act as a tone moderator. He also used pedals on some instruments and in particular a pedal, shaped like a hockey stick, for a lid swell where this device was fitted. Many of his pianos were sold to the aristocracy.
