        Hi, vonni!
 
 I'm house and dog sitting for others right now, so I'm not at my home.  I am also using their computer.
 
 When I do get settled back home in the next day or two, I will try to find my books that are for dating pianos.
 
 Thanks!

        I will try to help!  I promise you that!  If I haven't already mentioned it on this thread, most of my books are packed away in boxes because of moving them upstairs in order to make a library in one of my upstairs rooms.
 
 You've already mentioned about how good the piano sounds.  Is it also up to standard modern pitch of A=440?
 
 Please excuse me if I've already asked that question.
 
 Thanks!

        Not to butt in here, but a quick search revealed a Croft & Son piano & organ maker in Auckland as recently as 2004. Apparently, it is a family owned business that dates back quite some time.

        HI folkfury,
 
 Thank you for the info.I had checked many places and I know about croft and son being in New Zealand but they have closed down.
 The piano I have asked about really bugs me.
 The lady I bought it from said it had been in her family for a long time.
 I am confident I will find out the truth about it from someone.
 
 Have a good day
 vonni

        Hi, vonni!
 
 I'm home now and will be looking for the books where I have the information. Please do give me a little bit of time, though.
 
 Thanks!
