You can find the year your piano was made.
The age of your piano is determined by the serial number. You can find the serial number on the inside of your piano on
the iron frame near the top of the strings and tuning pins.
See Illustrations below. Find your serial number then list it here. There are times when your piano or number is not listed. If you are unable to find your piano we can
research it for you. Please list it as "Other Brand Name". There is no cost or obligation to this
service. Compliments of The Bluebook of Pianos - The Piano Book

Piano manufactures place serial
numbers in a variety of places. Pianos often have numbers other than serial
numbers, such as case and part numbers. Some pianos do not have serial
numbers, therefore the exact age cannot be determined.
Sometimes the
action (piano keys) will have a date of manufacture written on it. This date
should be within a few years of the piano's date of manufacture.
For more information on your piano
manufacturer's history and its age, or just the age of your piano:
Vertical Serial numbers can be found in
locations marked by a
S
Grand Piano Serial Numbers are
stamped on the gold colored plate located where you see a

Other serial number locations on older pianos - look inside of
the instrument near the top of the strings.
