APG7 piano?

[KaiparaGirl]

Hi,
My Step daughter just got a piano for free. Its in very good condition and we cannot figure out the name o the front of it to try and find out who the manufacturer is. I had a look at it this morning but needed a torch to see inside because its in her dark hallway and I didnt have one on me. Inside I saw the serial as 145046 or 146045 and it has what looked like an embossed logo of some sort on the iron frame. I wil have to go back with a torch but thought Id post a pix up here. Someone may know straight away by the look of it
many thanks
Julie

It looks very like a Russian piano to me. Are there no labels inside in cyrillic - particularly at the treble (right hand ) end on the inside vertical part of the case? Can you take some pics of the inside?

Serial numbers are no help without the maker's name, and they are not always helpful even then!

I thought at first it was a modernised old piano with some B&Q decoration stuck on, but it looks more like one of these many modern pianos from the 70s & 80s that tried to mimic an antique style. If you want to search inside it for clues, have a look at

As Bill says, don't think it's modernised----three pedals,88note etc and lid is recessed and not pruned off.The columns aren't the standard modernised sort tho' similar.The pedals appear to be in a satin finish that I have never seen.
Very intriguing. Hope someone recognises it

Yes, strange pedals.

I am not quite convinced that APG7 is not OPQ7 or something! Could we see a closer shot of the markings?
