Question
Hi Todd,
I have a beautiful upright piano that I purchased about 30 years ago. I have searched for the serial number and have not been successful. It has Alrich London, D.L. Thompson Dundee on it. The front of it has a beautiful inlaid design and what looks like a place for sconces. Can you tell me where I might search for the history of this piano and perhaps any information about it's value.
Thank you,
Judy
