A Chickering 9 foot concert grand with serial number 15408 is listed in the Pierce atlas as being manufactured around the 1850's - 1860's. This piano doesn't resemble anything manufactured back then - it looks more like a grand from the 20th century. It does not have the square curve, nor is it a square grand. It looks very original but not 150+ years old. It's not ornate and with my little experience it fairly resembles a some Steinway D pianos I've seen. Does anyone know if Chickering concert grand serial numbers are in a separate catergory from the rest?
