Sometimes the number is stamped in the soundboard under the strings. The most common place on a grand piano is stamped on the plate in the V shaped area between the tenor and the bass sections of the plate or at the treble end. Some piano have other numbers stamped on them that are used in the manufacturing process. For European pianos, Bill Kibby in England has better information than we do at Piano Gen.

You are usually looking for a 5 or 6 digit number. Dates that are cast into the plate of a piano are dates when the company was founded and not dates for the particular piano. They can be in unusual places and this page shows some of the places to find the serial number. I'm located in Roseville, California, and looking for a buyer that will assume shipping/moving costs.Pianos almost always have a serial number somewhere. Please contact me for more info or additional photos. For someone that wants to take the time to refurbish the wood and keys, they would have a very nice final product. The photos also show some chips and scratches in the wood, both on piano and bench. I know that replacement piano key overlays are available on-line, but I don't know the replacement process. There are some chips in the ivory keys and two keys are missing the ivory caps.

Over all the condition of the piano is fair to good. All the keys and felts operate well and do not stick. The piano still gets infrequent use but will need to be tuned for best performance. We don't use it enough and our family seems disinterested with keeping it for more generations.

My family has decided it is time to move this piano on to a new home. Make offer!! This was my mother's Kimball baby grand piano that her family purchased new in 1932, and we have paperwork to document that purchase.
