Wigmore

Post by Bill Kibby »

The Wigmore Hall in Wigmore Street is a famous concert hall, and the letters WHPG indicates that the piano was sold by the Wigmore Hall Piano Galleries. All I can tell you about the following number is that it is before 1938, but the Schwander action number dates it to about 1910. Wigmore probably bought the pianos in from one of the London factories, any other clues will be hidden inside the piano. See
