Scott, et al,

Not wanting to mislead you re: real serial number locations...

I just rechecked the beastie.  I misremembered the keyslip location. Wasn't 
there.

I quickly did find the SN on the bottom edge of the music rack (i.e. the 
vertical part), the outside of both cheekblocks and grinning at me from the 
front of the keyframe.

I'm sure there are other parts which have the number on it, but I wasn't 
_that_ morbidly curious.
;-}

Happy searching!!
