In addition to architecture, Cave worked as a landscape gardener, interior designer, furniture maker and cricketer

C. Bechstein

C. Bechstein Pianoforte AG (also known as Bechstein) is a German manufacturer of pianos, established in 1853 by Carl Bechstein. Carl Bechstein set out to manufacture a piano able to withstand the great demands imposed on the instrument by the virtuosi of the time, such as Franz Liszt. In 1862, C. Bechstein was awarded gold medals at the London International Exhibition. By 1870, with endorsements from Franz Liszt and Hans von Bulow, Bechstein pianos had become a staple in many concert halls and private mansions. By January 1886 they were among the piano manufacturers holding a royal warrant as a supplier to the Queen. In 1885, Bechstein opened a branch in London, that eventually grew to become the largest showroom and dealership in Europe.
