Hi,
I would really like to know how old my piano is and more about it please. It is overstrung and was bought refurbished 10 years ago. It is mahogany and the interior is excellent. A good disguise to it's genuine age! There is a serial number inside 32303. Any ideas?
Thanks
Yvonne |

According to Pierce they were est in 1847 but no location if you send some photos of the inside and outside to Bill he will give you an approximate date

By 1886, J.W. Holder, of Hull, had become Holder Brothers, Hull, also at Grimsby, Bridlington, Goole & Scunthorpe. By 1950, Holder Bros. Ltd. were still at Hull, Grimsby & Scunthorpe.
