Blankenstein piano

Post by mark1989 »

hi guys,
Looking for a little bit of info on a Blankenstein upright piano.
I dont really know anything about it, but the serial number is "18334"

I purchased it about 6 years ago for 100 pounds, then pretty much
never played it again.

i can seem to find any info on it at all, so if you know anything,
please let me know

see pictures below.

As you can read about halfway down the page at
http://pianogen.org/numbers.html
Blankensteins used 3 sets of numbers, so it could be 1880s or around 1908, which is a much more likely date for this style. That item on my website will be updated soon. General information on this type of piano can be found at
http://pianogen.org/edwardian.html

I probably have more information on Blankenstein than anyone else, but it isn't much!
