John Brinsmead upright piano

[Barnes]

We have just inherited an upright John Brinsmead piano and would like to find out some further details but do not know where to look for the product number. One isn't particularly visible so does anyone know where this can be found?

Normally, you should be able to just open the top and look inside to find numbers, there may be more than one. My Numbers page
http://www.pianohistory.info/numbers.html
explains that dating pianos purely on the basis of numbers is not always as simple as it seems, and if you can post photos here to show what the piano looks like, I may be able to give you a rough date. If you want to search inside the piano for clues, have a look at
