Chappell and the King of Spain

[Barrie Heaton]

There is quite a lot in the history section on chappll see www.uk-piano.org/history/chappell/
which includes the serial numbers

However, Bill may be able to do a more detailed report on your piano for a small charge

Chappells have a very long history, and certainly did have an appointment to the King of Spain, which is mentioned on most of their pianos. I can supply booklets on Chappell, and on Royal Appointments, or compile a report based on photos, but no-one anywhere can trace the life history of every piano. The number you quote is not a Chappell serial number, see
