We have a Lestel piano. Does anyone know anything about this make, ie where it was made, etc. It is a beautifully-made instrument.

Lestel was not a real maker's name, some were made by Renn, London, others by Murdoch, London, around the 1920s. I don't have an exact date range handy, but I'll see what I can find. See

Thanks Bill. This piano was handed dowm from my wife's granmother. She bought it for two of her children to learn to play. My wife thinks it was bought in the 1950s. Look forward to more information.
