Which Piano?
on: February 26, 2005, 06:37:51 PM
I need help finding out which model piano i have....
I am looking to sell it but i need to know what model it is so that i can advertise it correctly. I do not know alot about piano's and i am finding it difficult to find information from the internet about this piano - possibly because i don't know where to look.
It is a Kemble piano which i believe was purchased in 1991-1992, but unfortunately that is all i know.
Can anyone help identify it??
Thanks all,
Layney x

If you cannot find out the specific model number, measure the height and advertise that instead. (E.g., Kemble upright piano, XX inches tall, serial number nnnnnn, oak finish, with practise pedal, last tuned on dd/mm/yy.) Good luck.

Ax is right on.
It looks like a Kemble upright piano, probably 48 to 52 inches tall (you need to measure; I am judging by the "stickers" on the ends of the keys which are not found on studio pianos which are about 45 inches tall). It has a continental style case without legs; you need also to specify the type of wood in the case and the finish (polished, satin or oiled). Kembles are well-made European pianos, with a "European" rather than typically American sound. Kemble is part-owned by Yamaha and your piano probably has a Yamaha action.

Thanks to you both for your posts...they were both very useful. I do know the serial number (unfortunately it was not very clear in the pictures).
I will measure the piano as you have suggested
If you think of anything else which may help in an advert, let me know. I really appreciate it.
Thanks again guys x

the serial number is that number ending in 72 at the top right corner.
Look here to know the approximate age of teh piano:
