Lighte & Newton

Post by Bill Kibby »

My understanding is that Newton joined Lighte in 1851, at which time the published serial number was 6,200. Newton left in 1853, so theoretically, that dates your piano quite accurately. Is there another number anywhere? I can only proceed by reporting from photos, but with little experience of american instruments, I would be mainly comparing to british and european equivalents.
