  I saw that. But without my secret Pierce decoder ring it now appears I may have misinterpreted the real meaning of "T".  So, am I correct that the "T" isn't necessarily part of the actual serial number as it appears on the piano, it just sort of means "everything else"? In which case my "G" would in fact work out to be 1985. That sounds about right. Now I wonder what the "G" signifies. I mean besides possibly "grand". 

  Wild guess appreciated. Thanks.

    Reading between the lines of the Atlas, if they were most recently made by Kimball, p.191 of the 11th Ed. shows numbers with a "T" for "Misc. Kimball Brand" (which the Sherman Clay stencil might be?).  T21786 might be 1985.

    A wild guess...

      I had the opportunity to work on a very nice Sherman Clay baby grand this afternoon. Pitch raise, fine tune and a couple minor repairs. Everybody's happy. I then went to look up the age of the piano, and while Pierce does have an entry for Sherman Clay it doesn't have anything listed even close to this serial number. Nor could I find anything on line. Many changes of ownership for the Sherman Clay name has left an void for this Sherman Clay model SDG1, serial number: G021786. Does anybody here know where else I might look to find this date?
