Bill,

The 45 inch studio was model #11, 21 or 31. The 11 was the school model, the 21 was the church model and the 31 was the studio model. I believe the only difference was in the cabinet. They were all 45 inches.

Later, Everett went to four numbers with the last two designating the style/finish, i.e., 33 french provincial, cherry, 43 early american cherry and on down the line.

Model numbers were usually found on the back or top block of the piano.

Anyway, your safe with the 31 designation.
