Dunham & sons-New York

Post by Fleaux »

I have had a Dunham & Sons upright since 1948. It is in great shap and plays well. The notes inside are written in script and a notation is "tuned in 1865". The legs are handcarved rosewood, the keys are in excellent shape and appear to be ivory. Does anyone have any information regarding this piano, it's history, possible value, etc. I would appreciate any information anyone
may have. Thanks. Fleaux

The name suggests that your piano was made between 1867 and 1875, or "Circa 1871". If you would like to email photos to me, I may be able to judge whether this is correct.
