The Eavestaff piano company was established in 1823 at Finsbury Park, London. The Brasted brothers took them over in 1925. Brasted did make their own pianos, but they were not that well-known in their own right, so buying the Eavestaff name made good business sense. Brasted's had been established in 1870. In 1928 Brasted merged with Boyd Ltd., and in 1934 they introduced the Minipiano. Percy Brasted had discovered a miniature piano made by Messrs. Lundholm of Stockholm, from whom the Brasteds bought the rights. The piano was then made only in England, while Lundholm contracted to import them and receive a royalty on sales. The Eavestaff name was used for this piano.

Percy Brasted gave it the name Minipiano and it is sometimes claimed that it was his invention. However, it should be remembered that in the 1920s Hicks had contracted to make a small piano, strung at the back, of German design.

At the end of the 1970s Eavestaff pianos were marketed by a new company formed by John Brasted. The pianos were to be made under licence by Kemble & Co. For some years previously, Eavestaff pianos were made at the Barratt & Robinson factory, Hermitage Road, Harringay. From the 1950s Eavestaff only made Minipianos, the best of which was the Royal model.

In the USA Hardman Peck & Co. made Eavestaff Minipianos under licence in the 50s and 60s. Eavestaff stopped making pianos in 1983.
