Hello,

I'm new to the forum thing, and I hope I'm doing this right.

I have recently became the owner of a piano that I can find no info about. The piano was made in London, England. I'm guessing somewhere around the turn of the century. It was from a manufacturer called W.A. Green & Co. The serial # is 16211.

I have tried for about a month now to find something on this piano but nothing is turning up in any of my searches.

Can anyone tell me anything about this piano? I would greatly appreciate the help. Very Happy

Well you might be better asking under 'Piano History; there isn't a lot that Bill doesn't know about piano history!
You might be able to find something out yourself; take off the top door, fall (lid over the keyboard) and the rail which runs along the back of the keys. This allows you to lift the extreme left-hand key up, forward and out. Now, you MIGHT find a date in pencil on that key somewhere, which is PROBABLY (but not necessarily) the date of the piano's maufacture. Alternatively, look for any writing on the upper side of any of the keys, or maybe on the action itself, and there might be a tuner's date in pencil, which only tells you when it could have been tuned.
