Can anyone help me to identify my piano ?
on: March 01, 2006, 07:27:29 PM
Hi,

can anyone help me identify this piano ? Only thing i know about it is that the piano exists (at least) since world war II and that google cant find anything.

I would be glad for any info.

Pictures of it should be in attachment

Thank you

well ... if i knew anything about its history i wouldnt ask here for any informations about it .. :)

unfortunately i dont know anything except that it is at least 60 years old and that "text" on it is half czech and half german  :-\

and if you tune it once per month it sounds great ;)

 Schlogl was one of the stencil names used by Petrof. Your piano was made before WWll. Can you give the serial number, I could look it up.

Here's how to find your serial number.  They will also do research into your piano's history (for a fee):
