There was no name on the piano in the usual places or methods but it had what looked like a tuning sticker as follows: </div>   <div> L.W. Foster </div> <div> Piano Tuner and Maker </div> <div> 1915 Washington Blvd. </div> <div> Chicago, IL </div> <div> Phone Seely 268 </div>     <div> The serial number was 1558 and there was what looked like a tuning date of 5-26-13. </div>   <div> It is a full upright and is straight strung with double unisons through out (with the exception of the usual low bass). None of the books that I have were of any help and I am not even sure that Foster is the maker. Any information would be welcome. </div>   <div> Thank you. </div>   <div> Rex Roseman </div>   </div> </div>   </div> </div> </body> </html>
