Bohemia, London

So there are some pics of the piano.

I want to find out about this pianos history, I estimate around 1900s. Bohemia London is written on the case, which is the source of confusion as I cant anywhere link bohemia and London together at such an early time.

Any ideas would be great, thanks.

In this instance, "Bohemia" seems to be used as a piano name, this is unlikely to be anything to do with the place. It is almost certainly an alias used by a retailer for pianos bought in from anonymous wholesalers. I have no record of a real maker by this name, but I would guess it was early twenties. The photos are virtually thumbnails, I can't see any way of getting larger, clearer photos from them. Have a look at...

Thanks Bill, no one else seems to have had a go here... The link is to photobucket where clicking on the image draws up a larger image, no?
