Thanks Bill, I have this very moment advertised this item on ebay for anyone thats interested. Thanks all for your help. If I could play piano i wouldnt have considered selling at all. But I realise it requires specialist attention. Cheers Derek http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&it...

Hi again, I have been cleaning this piano up over the past few days so thought i would post a few pictures. After careful consideration I have decided it best to try and sell this to someone who could re-vitalise it. It may well be appearing on a well known auction site in the next couple of days. h...

After some advice from pianomate i have been out hoovering the worst of the dust off the casing and taken the front panel off and had a look inside. I have taken some pictures of the internals pictured below. I think a lot of the felt etc looks in good condition for its age and even the glued parts ...

I have just realised that this thread should be re-named, "Winkelmann Braunschweig German Overstrung Upright Piano 1908" that would be more accurate now that we have done a bit of researching. If i take the keys out what would i be looking for on the far left key that might aid in identifi...

Thats exactly what I was thinking! But without any information on the history of it and how it got here, Its guesswork. Perhaps a previous owner bought it and left it. Perhaps this previous owner re-felted the hammers? Is the action ( noticed from the ppt ) related to the keys sticking and the hamme...

Thanks Bill, I have done lots of work on cars in the past but havent ever considered stripping a piano down! I have also recieved good information from Pianomate with regards to cleaning. A relative told me just to throw this paino out as it was old and required work but i thought that would be a wa...

Hi Pianomate, Thanks for the reply. I done a google search earlier and discovered that some pianos had candle holders....snap on that one. Yes you are correct in saying that there is something amiss with parts not returning to the original position, some of the keys when pressed stick down and and t...

Hi, Here are a few pics of the piano, its quite dusty!! Hopefully these might help. I notice that there appears to be something removed from the two front boxes either side of the floral pattern, perhaps some form of decoration :piano; http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee178/mercerrx/Winkelmann.jpg...

Hi again, 1908 would that not make the piano an antique? I will go and get some photos of the piano just now, if it aids in identification.

Hi again, do the attached photos and numbers make sense to anyone in the know?

Hi Bill, Yes I believe it to be 1936 as I have found this date written on parts on the inside. I am not a Piano person or very knowledgable about them. I have this piano because I moved house and found it had been left stored in one of my sheds. My girlfriend and I have always wondered what history ...

Hi there, I posted in another section earlier requiring advice on the above named piano that I recently acquired. Can anyone advise me where to find the correct s/n number for correct ID?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, I'll check that out in the history section, Thanks again

Hi there, I have just signed up today, I have the above named piano and i'm interested to find out more about it? Has anyone on here heard of them or know where I can find the correct serial number? It has a small label attached inside that says J.Marr & Sons & 1936 written in pencil on the ...
