This old piano has some very nice ornamentation. We wanted to refinish it to get rid of the orange peel but were advised not to.

Cornish upright piano
We were recently given a piano made by the Cornish Piano & Organ Company. According to a Usenet post by someone who was able to decipher its serial number (20755), it was probably made in 1914.
It's seen some wear over the years, but seems to be in decent mechanical shape and plays nicely. I'll know more about that after our tuner's had a look at it, though.
