No need to get annoyed, there's plenty of info on the net, such as
http://www.uk-piano.org/piano-gen/datem ... ianos.html

The number suggests about 1912 if it's a grand, or 1878 if it's a cottage upright, in which case the top key is probably dated on the side of it.

You can contact Broadwoods direct, but it will cost you!

Laura-Jayne if you had search this site you would have found John Broadwood and Sons website which is hosted here with all the info you need on Broadwoods www.uk-piano.org/broadwood

And if you type in Broadwood pianos in Google it comes up number 1

I take it you did not read "please read before posting"

Barrie,

I've been on there to check. If you press the SERIAL NUMBERS button, then go down the page to whatever tyepe of piano you have, the dates are given for its numbers, at 5-year intervals. The estimates I gave you were based on the same numbers.

I can also quote for printing general info, or compile a report from photos. Type pianogen into your internet address bar.
