serial numbers / dates document based on Pierce Piano Atlas

[Albert Sanchez]

Hi All,
I spoke with the Pierce people regarding this topic two weeks ago and was told that they have no plans to make this material available in the way discussed here in the forseeable future.

  I remember a reply from someone stating that Pierce had no plans to make an electronic version of their book. I think I might have even asked them about it when I ordered my last book. I think I might have some trouble with my memory . I don't remember.

  Since I don't usually carry my Pierce Piano Atlas around with me, I was thinking it would be handy to have a Microsoft Word document (or equivalent) containing the serial numbers and dates of manufacture for the most common piano brands.  One could keep such a document on one's Pocket PC, so it would always be handy.  Has anyone created such a document?  Just figured I'd ask before I did all that typing.

  Some years ago, I sent a letter to Pierce asking if they could do an electronic version of the Atlas with a searchable database.  I didn't get a reply.  But I still think it is a neat idea, and I'd be willing to pay for the convenience of Pierce on my PDA.

   

  Now, I have the latest edition at home, and carry the previous version in my car.  It covers all but the most recent pianos, which is by far the bulk of what I use it for.

   

  I hadn't thought of scanning the pages of the most popular pianos, but that sounds like a workable idea if you didn't carry Pierce with you.
