Chalton Piano

Post by brnjsc »

When my son bought his house the sellers left the upright piano. It says "Chalton Piano London", and there is a serial number: 16670.
We have been unable to find anything about Chalton pianos, and hope we might have success here.

This is a name which comes up occasionally, and it seems to be an alias used by Gough & Davy on pianos they sold around 1910. No actual maker by this name is known to exist, so any clues to its identity will be hidden inside. See

Mr. Kibby,
Thank you so very much for your prompt and informative reply. The information will be very helpful to my son. He had estimated that the piano had been built in the early years of the 20th century.
