I've been offered a Schiedmayer which has been well looked after. The number is: P12505.
Any idea of date etc?

Firstly, this number preceded by a P is not a serial number. More likely it is a dealer's stock number, so you need to look for other numbers - there may be several. Secondly, all Schiedmayers do not conform to the same numbers, what is the full and exact wording on the piano?

Many thanks for the reply. I'll be back to you as soon as I get the info.

The number suggests 1891.

1891 - I'll pass on this one!
Many thanks.
