Bentley upright piano with green keys

Post by JMB »

I have a Bentley upright piano in burr walnut that has green and white keys instead of the traditional black and white. It seems to date from 1936/7.

Does anyone have any information about this model?

Bill over on the History section might have a little more information for you. If you can furnish us with the serial number (normally stamped inside, up top, amongst the tuning pins) we might be able to give a more accurate date. Also, when your tuner visits, s/he might find a date written on the bottom key. I know Barnes made pianos with green sharps and green banding painted round the piano's edges around this time too, usually in a walnut case.
I play for my own amazement... :piano;
