Newsome Brothers

Post by david phillips »

Just got a newsome brothers piano. Trying to figure out how to find out date and Im not sure where to look.Its a upright piano. If any one has the info you can email me at davidinrichmond@sbcglobal.net.I did find a small label saying supplied by W.Mackerell Burney under the tag that says Newsome brothers . Just wondering if they ever put dates on pianos and where ?Thanks . Actually you are correct it is Burnley as in W. Mackerell Burnley.

Follow the link below. Newsome Brothers seem to have been quite short-lived, selling pianos from the 1890s to about 1910. It's unlikely they made the pianos themselves.

It's unwise to put your email address in the posting, you may suffer lots of spam.

Is "burney" really BURNLEY - the address of Mackerel?
