Esteemed Listees: Could anyone be of some help in finding out the manufacturer of a piano that has only 1 marking on the plate that may be some clue? I am working on one of those sentimental pianos, they just had to have it somewhat re-done, as opposed to getting something else. I need to try to find out who made it, and there is only 1 clue on the piano (that I can find). The plate has the number 76 with a bar under it on the tail. This number is cast in the plate. It kind of looks like 76. It has only 1 beam underneath, a pretty massive inner rim, and one other thing that perplexes me. It has a number that looks like the serial number painted on the plate, behind the mid-treble hitch pins, but a different six-digit number stamped on the front of the keyframe and on the keybed (those two numbers match). I can't find anything on the action, or under the piano that might give any other indications. HELP!!!!!!!!! Clark A.
