Question
Hi,

WE just bought an old Gourlay, Winter and Leeming piano, which says that it's a Boudoir Upright scale, Composite metal plate with the serial number 8116, Toronto.

Would you be able to tell me the year it was manufactured in and anything else about the piano?

It's our first piano, and my 9 year old is really enjoying it.

THanks!
Deb

Answer
Hi Debra,

Thank you for contacting us. Your piano was manufactured in 1915. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
