Welmar

[Roger Jolly]

Hi John,
               I think they are mfg. in Cheltenham? I saw a few of them,
3yrs ago in the UK.
The dealership had all the pianos on his floor, immaculately prepped, a
pleasant suprise.
There was a newer used John Broadwood studio piano that was outstanding.

which are secured to blocks, the dowells of which recess into the cabinet.
Just lifts straight off. The muffler rail, too, was easy to disengage.
