Question
Hi and thank you for providing this site i have been looking for a long time about my piano. there is not a lot of information on Soufleto in the first instance - my piano has a serial number (5480) and has been 'expressly made for W.H. Glen' (which is what is stamped on the 'gold' medallion inside the top 'flap'). it is a wood frame in good condition and i believe it is 'made to order' so  thinking it is one of a kind?? am not sure. we have managed to find W.H. Glen in our research but it does not tell us anything about the piano. i am moving house in the next week and wonder if i should bother taking it with me or selling it.? thank you..
Joanna

Hi Joanna,
   Thank you for using allexperts.  In regards to your piano, I would recommend that you do not take it with you and sell it.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
