['brɔːdwʊd ænd 'sʌnz 'lɪmɪtɪd, englisch], von dem Schweizer Burkhard Tschudi (* 1702, ✝ 1773) um 1728 gegründete Klavierfabrik; Sitz: London. Der Kunsttischler John Broadwood (* 1732, ✝ 1812), Tschudis Schwiegersohn und Erbe, trat 1770 in die Firma ein. Seit etwa 1771 wurde mit dem Bau von Hammerklavieren (mit englischer Mechanik) begonnen, die sich durch besonders kräftigen Ton auszeichneten (Beethoven besaß seit 1817 einen Flügel von B. & S.). Henry John Tschudi Broadwood (✝ 1911) wandelte das Unternehmen, das noch heute zu den führenden Klavierfirmen zählt, 1901 in eine Aktiengesellschaft um.
