| Comments on this make |
| Bentley was one of the first British firms to make small uprights. Those in service today are of generally poor quality. There are a few taller uprights which are average to good. In the 30s they made a "Bungalow" model, which we rate about 45-50. The modern Chinese piano is totally different and is not rated here. |
