Help finding Serial number - Kemble Piano
Hi
Is this a legitimate Kemble piano?
I cant find the serial number on it anywhere.
I have had to add the photos to dropbox because the attachments function wasnt working on this point, not sure why.
Appreciate your help.

It looks like a Kemble, and there is no reason to think anyone would put that name on otherwise.
If there is no number just inside the top edge, or on the back at the top, try looking inside, on the soundboard at keyboard level on the bass (left) side.

Where did you see all this detail Barrie? I only see 2 copies of a photo of the outside.

Re: Help finding Serial number - Kemble Piano
It is quite strange that the serial number does not appear in the top right hand corner of the frame. The edges of the casting is also very rough, not up to Kemble's usual standard. Lastly wonder why the Kemble name or a letter K was not cast into the frame itself . Perhaps it was a mid 1970's model during the time of significant industrial unrest.
