arti Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (Perhaps this should be in "History" but I reckon more people come here more often, so I've cheated a bit) I recently bought a Wheatstone 48 key EC serial no. 36248. The ledger entry is January 1957 It was sold at auction in May 2017, I believe in Macclesfield but Liverpool is possible. I'd really like to know about its history between 1957 and May 2017. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Richard

arti Posted June 28, 2017 Author Posted June 28, 2017 Thanks for the speedy reply - I did know that bit and am really hoping for info prior to that. The thought is appreciated.
d.elliott Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Have you looked inside the instrument? often, on the underside of the reed pans, you get names of previous owners, names of dealers or repairers. Dave
arti Posted July 2, 2017 Author Posted July 2, 2017 Thank you - that's a very good idea. I'm not sure I'm brave enough but will try to work up the courage.
