- Once you know the name brand of your piano, you will need to find the serial number. Step 1: The serial number is usually found on the plate of the piano between the bass and tenor strings. It can also be found on the top of the piano when you open the lid on Upright Pianos. You are looking for a number like those shown here.
- The age of your piano is determined by the Serial Number. Pianos also have numbers other than serial numbers, such is the case with part or patent numbers. Some pianos do not have serial numbers when they are manufactured as 'House Brands' for large retailers.
Wonderful sounding and looking 1924 M. Large upright piano. Keys and inside refurbished in 2005. In really good condition. May need tuned due to recent move. Serial number 188339, $750 - Location: Carbondale.
