---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment The SERIAL NUMBER was created in 1837. The actual piano was built many years later. No other explanation is possible. And BTW, I think the Chickering people got a certain perverse pleasure out of finding creative places to hide serial numbers on their grands, especially the qtr chicks. Some I never did find. Alan Barnard Salem, Missouri ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Doepke To: Pianotech Sent: 11/03/2005 12:16:11 PM Subject: Calling Super Sleuths I have a client whose Chickering quarter grand piano has a serial number of 2242 stamped in several places. And that’s the only number I found. The mystery is that the number in the Pierce Piano book lists the manufacturing date in the 1830”s….which can’t be right. The chickering home page also gives me a date that is too early. The quarter grands were first made in the early 1900’s….so ….. I don’t know when it was made. Can ANYONE help???? Brian P.
