Kon.Ned Pianofabriek

[Fred Brown III]

Hi Arnold,

This is very helpful. It narrows the age down to the range consistent to
what I thought. I will forward info to customer who may be able to get
through the Dutch OK(Afrikaner?).

Thanks Again!

Hello Fred,

 

The 'Koninklijke Nederlandse Pianofabriek' had a factory in Tilburg, the
Netherlands owned by M.J.H. Kessels. They started in 1880 with sheetmusic
and later sold and manufactured all kinds of instruments. They closed the
piano department in1922.  I couldn't find a list with serial numbers but I
found a website where you can ask for more
info.(http://www.muziekinstrumentenmuseum.nl/index.php?cmd=content
<http://www.muziekinstrumentenmuseum.nl/index.php?cmd=content&cat=45&mit=6>
&cat=45&mit=6)  Click on contact and fill in the email form. The website is
in Dutch, so if you need some help please let me know. 

 

Regards

Arnold Duin

Hello All,

I have a piano customer from South Africa that is trying to find out how old
her piano is.

The fallboard says"Kon.Ned Pianofabriek, Tilburg s/n 22376

It is not in Pierce's. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
