Kingsbury / Chicago Cable Co. baby grand

Post by etadross »

Hello:

I've been offered for free a Chicago Cable Co. baby grand - it's a Kingsbury, serial # BB285724. Any ideas on the history of this? It plays/sounds great, although the keys and casing are a bit beat up...

Cheers,
Eddie

serial 285724. would place the date at c1929 I would still get a tuner to look at the piano before you pay for the removal you may be getting it for free but the removal is not and if it can’t be tuned it not much use
