Re: Chappell & Co cottage piano, 1860?

Thank you Bill and Colin. I might end up paying half or less, depending on the numbers and condition and on other bidders. I'll look for a tuner as well. I'm not good enough to impress anyone with my play, but there might be some talents playing it from time to time :)

Re: Chappell & Co cottage piano, 1860?

Thank you Bill, I also count 85 from the pictures, and have not seen the piano "live" yet. I thought it was 30 Bond at first, but after seeing "all the others" have 50, it must be 50. Guessing Chappell was never at 30 Bond as well as on 50. Hoping to get the piano at less than $1...

Chappell & Co cottage piano, 1860?

Hi, I'm considering buying a Chappell piano, but only have pictures. I do not know the serial number. Is there anyone recognizing the era of the pictures? IF it's around 1860, as advertised, where would I look for the serial number? Thank you :) http://s23.postimg.org/3pdsext8r/piano1.jpg http://s23...
