serial numbers / dates document based on Pierce Piano Atlas

[Greg Newell]

I remember a reply from someone stating that Pierce had no plans to make an
electronic version of their book. I think I might have even asked them about
it when I ordered my last book. I think I might have some trouble with my
memory 
 I don’t remember.

Since I don't usually carry my Pierce Piano Atlas around with me, I was
thinking it would be handy to have a Microsoft Word document (or equivalent)
containing the serial numbers and dates of manufacture for the most common
piano brands.  One could keep such a document on one's Pocket PC, so it
would always be handy.  Has anyone created such a document?  Just figured
I'd ask before I did all that typing.

Some years ago, I sent a letter to Pierce asking if they could do an
electronic version of the Atlas with a searchable database.  I didn't get a
reply.  But I still think it is a neat idea, and I'd be willing to pay for
the convenience of Pierce on my PDA.

 

Now, I have the latest edition at home, and carry the previous version in my
car.  It covers all but the most recent pianos, which is by far the bulk of
what I use it for.

 

I hadn't thought of scanning the pages of the most popular pianos, but that
sounds like a workable idea if you didn't carry Pierce with you.
