Call Steinway. Maybe they can give you some guidance.

I looked more intensively at the Steinway today, and still cannot find
any other numbers than the C3060 anywhere. Even on the bottom of the
keyslip, and on the belly, or anywhere else that the C3060 is stamped. Thanks
to all who tried to help!

According to Barron's book "Piano'" pg 208 "The case number, a letter
followed by 4 digits ---- K0862 , for example---- is assigned when the case is
bent and is used to track the piano in the factory. The letter changes at
the beginning of each year. In 2004 the case numbers began with L, and in
2005 with M. ( I and O are not used, because those letters could be confused
with ONES and ZEROS. Nor are there Q, X, Y or Z years. The Q could be
mistaken for an O or a zero; as for the others, Steinway has just never bothered
with them.) By the way, the CD numbers for concert pianos can be reused
when the piano is retired. I'm sorry if I confused you. This might help
you with piano trying to be aged. Good Luck.
