I have a small piano with 85 keys. The previous owner said it was from Ireland. It has "Beverley" on the front. Who could point me in the right direction in determining its origin. I have photos.

"Beverley Model" was one of a series of transfers a dealer could purchase to smarten up a repoished piano. Most found their way onto modernised pianos in the '50s (these identifiable by rounded-off corners and panelled-over top doors). Other names available included "Vyner Model" and "Windsor Model".

In all cases, they have no meaning whatsoever, and pertain to no particular type of piano.
