Sherman Clay

[John Lillico, RPT]

>This piano has a mysterious serian number. There is no number on the >plate in the usual area. There is a number of 8,104,744 stamped on the >edge of the keybed back where the lyre mounts. This same 8 million >number is visible on the key frame with the keyslip removed. Even >Yamaha has only a 5 million number.
>
>Embossed in the plate are the numbers 6311 which must be the model number.
>It is not an exciting piano but we are curious about the maker.
>
>We thought west coast tuners would be more familiar with Sherman Clay.
>Thanks.
