This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi again David. I currently have a Bechstein in shop whose case number is 13.355 and = whose serial number is 43.957. So I am quite sure it is from 1898, and = that yours is from about 1900 or so. Does it have a fishtail ? Else it = would be a model C isntead (220 cm long). Best regards, St=E9phane Collin. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: David Love=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 2:03 AM Subject: Bechstein Date I'm trying to identify the date of a Bechstein IV (7'4"). It appears = that the serial number has been removed from the plate by overly = vigorous cleaning. I can find no other number except an embossed number = on one of the cross braces under the piano. This number reads 16226. I = don't believe this is the serial number as that would put the piano back = to 1885. The owner seems to think it is c 1910-1915. Anybody know what = that number refers to and can I trace the date through it? Thanks David Love ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
