Well it looks to me like Yamewicz Lond & Co. Or possibly what looks like a Y might be a very stylised J, Jamewicz Lond & Co. That is to say, Jamewicz of London, and Company. The two addresses in central London (I guess you can read those OK?) are quite prestigious locations. But that doesn't necessarily count for very much. A lot of English piano making was "cottage industry" stuff in the late 18th century, with many very small workshops. It might be possible to research buisness guides of the time to see if there was a listing for this company. But I think it's probably not worth the bother! Any more photos of the piano?
