Hello all, another update. I haven't got around to taking the felt off from the back yet, but have found a sticker under the first 2 keys; It says: Order number: 6200 and there's a date 6/12/40 Name: Spencer then the number "50" Size 14 1/2 x 7900 (I think it says 7900 it's hard to make ou...

I read one of your other posts Bill, and I'm gonna check behind the felt cover on the back, see if there's anything there, will keep you posted and Thank you for your input

Another piano tuner has written..... The piano name does exist, but most likely in badge form and not an original maker (apart from the keyboard!).

Yes the action is Herrburger, Brooks, and if you could see the photo's the actual Harp of the piano says "British Made" I was guessin mid 1920's so thats probabily right. As for its value, i dont mind how much it is or isnt worth in this case lol, I used to play on it when I was younger, a...

It has been handed down to me just over a year ago. The hammer action is Herrburger, Brooks Ltd - London, and the Harp says British Made wit...
