Schimmel piano serial number reference information. Find out your pianos age. Besbrode Pianos Leeds UK. Michelles Piano in Portland OR Michelles. Be the first to review. The first number represents the year your piano was manufactured. The second number is the actual serial number range for your piano. I can research it for you if you. Piano lines controlled and manufactured by this Division listed alphabetically include Chickering & Sons, Wm. Knabe & Co., Mason & Hamlin and Weber.
The piano itself is in excellent condition and plays wonderfully as the action was regulated a few months ago. The seller is a professional pianist who has replaced this piano with a 7' Kawaii.
The only thing I would change is to have it voiced a little softer as the piano is very bright. Can any technicians give me their opinion and maybe give me a date of manufacture (owner thought 1985)? Of course I am planning to have it looked at by a PTG technician before moving forward. My friend is asking $4000. Reading through the Schafer and Sons entry is interesting because the brand name has been used by: Currier, Vern Co, Kohler & Cambell, Kimball, Aeolian, Lowery, Story & Clark, Wurlitzer, Samick, Young Chang, and Daewoo.
So the smooth transition from crappy American brands to crappy Asian brands:). Having trouble figuring out where your serial number places it, but Samick or Young Chang would be a good guess. Based on brand alone, it might be wisest to avoid.
BUT, brand never trumps the individual piano. See if it's anything like the Mason you rented. Don't be tempted by the low price if you don't LOVE the piano. One should never rush into piano purchases.
