Hello! We have a piano and it's called Allison London, we found that name three times on the piano. We are planning on selling the piano but before we do, we wanted some information about the piano. My parents bought the piano 20 years ago as an occasion so it's older than that, on the internet i couldn't find anything with the name Allison London, Only thing that I found was Allison & Co but I don't think it is the same, or mayby it is, I have no idea. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me someting about it. I have some pictures of the piano.

There were a number of related Allisons in the piano trade, who merged or overlapped addresses at various times. (Your English, by the way, is considerably better than many people's!) The published serial numbers suggest 1915, but these are not reliable. Have a look at the Datemarks page at www.PianoGen.org
