From the Historic Collection of Limestone University, Gaffney, South Carolina
Limestone College, now Limestone University, was founded in 1845 in Gaffney, South Carolina, by English-born Baptist minister Dr. Thomas Curtis and his son William. Originally established as the Limestone Springs Female High School, it was among the first women’s colleges in the nation and the very first in the state. The institution found its early roots in a former resort hotel near healing springs, later struggling due to the Civil War and Reconstruction. It revived in 1881 as the Cooper‑Limestone Institute, thanks to benefaction from industrialist Peter Cooper, and adopted the name Limestone College.

The specially designed zelon synthetic bars offer the highest quality tone and projection available, coupled with unmatched durability to the sun and heat of even the most forbidding outdoor performances. The bright timbral response of the zelon keyboard maximizes projection and sustain to fill even the largest of spaces.

Some occasional surface scratches to keys and scuffs to faux leather covering; key cord with some fraying at terminal ends.
