Looking for date on a Sherman Clay

[Geoff Sykes]

David --
 
AHA! The missing piece. The Sherman Clay listing in Pierce only referenced
the name Daewoo, so of course I could not find it. However, now that you
attached Sojin to it, presto, there it is. Pierce does list the Sojin Piano
Co., which was owned by Daewoo and closed in 1995. The serial number of
"G021786" translates directly to 1988 under that listing. Unfortunately this
means that it probably did not have the benefit of your expertise. Oh, well.
It's a really nice piano anyway.
 
Thanks for helping to solve this mystery.

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?

I don't know where you'd look, but I can tell you that piano was made in the
Sojin/Daewoo factory in Korea between 1982 and 1988 or '89.  (SD=
Sojin/Daewoo; G1 from the Yamaha-type designation/size.)

Hope this helps...

P.S.  I may have prepared, or supervised the preparation of that piano in
the Sherman Clay warehouse if it came through there between spring '83 and
fall '87.  Whoooee.
