How old is my piano?
Every piano gets a number in the factory during construction, and with that number it is usually easy to find out how old the piano is.
Where can I find that serial number?
What to look out for.
Be sure to check that the factory name on the inside of the piano, mostly found on the iron frame or plate, or on the soundboard behind the strings, is the same name as the one on the outside of the piano underneath the lectern.
Who can help with these serial numbers?
The Piano Enterprise "van Medevoort" is very busy
and cannot find out all the information concerning
serial numbers, year of
manufacture, when the factory was established, etc.
Please consider that thousands of large and small factories have
existed over the past years and
we can't guarantee that the information is still
available for all pianos.
Obviously, we can't translate all the piano trade-mark pages into English, therefore,
here is an example to help you.

longer available. ( Copyright )
If you are still
interested in this info, send us the
serial
number and your piano brand by e-mail.
If we can find the year that your piano was built, then and
only then we will ask you to pay
6 Euros.
We will send the info by e-mail as soon as the payment has been received.
You will find
the year of build and
the information about your piano in a Word document
so that you are be able to print it.
What can you do? ...Search for information in our piano files.
Use the alphabet
for the first letter of the trade
mark of your piano, which you
can use to find your
instrument.
If the first letter of
your piano brand begins with an S, as in
Steinway & Sons, then you
use the mouse to click on the letter S
and
you will find all the brands
beginning with the letter S,
after you find the brand name you are looking
for, click that too,
and on the next page you will find
information of your piano.
Good luck.
