Question
I just acquired a WH Barnes -London upright piano.  I am trying to decide if there is any value in having it professionally restored or if we should just make it presentable as a first piano for our daughter.  I am not sure were to find serial number.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

To find the serial number on your piano, please refer to the useful guide we have on our website - http://www.lindebladpiano.com/piano_info/piano_Serial_Number.html

The age predicts wether or not you should restore it, really.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
Lindeblad Piano
