Kemble baby grand 50 years old

[Milav]

Dear experts,
Could you please help me with your advice on this Kemble baby grand?

Unfortunately, I do not know the serial number, and it was not found by the people selling it. The piano is about 50 years old.
I am wondering if it might possibly be a rough equivalent to Yamaha U3? Actually, I am looking for U3, but it is hard to find a good U3 in Ottawa.
I am reading your forum with great interest, and remember the advice of Piano Gay to go for serial numbers 4 000 000+ for U3.
I would apreciate your advice.
Thank you very much

Dear PianoGuy, please accept my deep apologies for misspelling of your name!

Ooh, get, you Sweetie. More comments like that and I'll scratch yer eyes out.... (and other non-PC 1970s stereotype phrases....)

The older Kemble grands were not highly thought of. They suffered from poor design and frame drilling in the treble and as a consequence are difficult to tune. Not so the new models which are Yamahas with knobs on.

Stick to the U3.

Much better.

Yamahas with knobs on

another Freudian slip?

Thank you very much, dear PianoGuy!
Will you ever forgive me?
I am so confused with my awkward debut here, which was intended to be quite innocent (though solemn).

Dear Openwood, with your nick, do you find it safe to add fuel to the fire?
