Thanks for that Colin, and G'day back to you :) Yeah I was born in Australia (my dad is English though). I live near Sydney. Today is a beautiful sunny day, but Summer is almost over and I can probably count the sunny days on my hands - it has mainly been wet which is very unusual. I have never actu...

Thanks for that guys. I don't know much about the technical aspects of the piano (I am a guitarist who is teaching himself the piano). So thanks for dumbing it down a bit and also telling me the proper names for things. I'm actually from Australia, so who knows... maybe we even use different termino...

Hey,

Thanks for that. Here is the picture with the serial number.

Cheers,

Actually, thinking about it. it may not be a tuning date on the key. There is a possibility that the 86 is actually a 56 but the 5 is joined to the 6.

Now I took the cover off the keys, and on the keys it appears to be written the date of 15.10.86. I am assuming this is a tuning date?? The keys...

I will let you know when I hopefully find out in a few weeks time (unless it is easy to remove keys and find out??).

The number suggests that it was made in about 1955, but it should be dated under the bottom few keys. Your tuner can look for you. Thanks for that. Yeah they were shaky on the date they got it, and they didn't mention whether they got it brand new or second-hand at the time. Now I realised that I'm...

Hey, I am getting a Knight K10 piano, and I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me the age of it? We will be picking it up in the next week or so, and then getting a professional in to tune it for us in a few weeks time, but it would be good to get some sort of age. The people we are gett...
