I got it from my mother when she died about 11 years ago. She got it from her grandfather, who bought it for her as a very fine gift about 1930 to my knowledge. The piano has an inscription made as a kind of 3D logo with the (establishing) year 1859, but I do not see any serial number. Does anybody know how to find out about the production year, eventually a serial number and what the value of a piano like this may be? The piano is in general in good state, but have not been tuned for years and it is missing a couple of strings, which are all relatively easy to solve. Jesper I have a Grand Piano August Förster.

It was purchased at Remenyi House of Music in Toronto Canada, and was made cira 1967 in Georgswalde Czechoslovakia, model 170, apparently built for an exhibition in Europe. It has a striking entirely white interior ( black ebony exterior). The serial # is 116009 I wonder if you have any further information on this piano or where I might research learning more about it! It is a wonderful sounding piano with a rich tone and is in pristine condition what would it's value be?
