| Made in | Paris, France |

| Rating (see Key) | 45-52 |
| Estimated Number In UK | 4,000; probably all uprights |
| Year and serial number | 1900 – 100000 1920 – 129100 1940 – 138000 |
About 90% of A Bord pianos in the UK are small straight strung overdampers, and are therefore quite basic. However, they are quite attractive, usually walnut or rosewood, and well made, with a sweet tone. In at least 50% of Bord pianos the tuning pins are loose; replacing these costs far more than the value of the piano. If you’re looking for a small traditional piano that looks good, then of those most common in the UK we recommend a small iron framed Broadwood or a Bechstein model 9. After 1960 the name was taken over by Pleyel but few of these can be found in the UK.
