Wow, that's really cool! I wonder if the piano was used at the expo. Is the age of the piano or year of manufacture listed anywhere on the piano?
@Zoins Didn't see a date - if there it is well hidden

The company that made the organ probably was awarded the medal at the expo. This replica example on the organ commemorates that award.
Who does it indicate that the medal was awarded to??
@savoyspecial... Is the 'medal' an impressed wood design of the original... Or actually metal embedded in the wood?? Cheers, RickO
