Since they said it is a 1976, they must have know the serial number, SOooo, Looking at the Pierce Atlas should give the range of numbers that would be encompassed.

Sorry, they don't know the serial number. Thanks, John Baird JBairdRPT at cs.com ************************************************** I'm writing to see if you can help my family. My parents sold their home in Germany, and had all their belongings shipped to the US. The container arrived in New Jersey last week, but was then stolen from the yard!! The container was later found in a different town: its seal was broken, and the container was completely empty. The manager of the moving company filed a police report, but we were told that there is no hope of recovering any of our possessions. As you can imagine, we are all devastated by this. The container had my parents' furniture, china, clothes, countless photo albums, and other items in it that were of great sentimental value to all of us. Our only hope rests on the piano that was also in the container: it was a 1976 Bechstein upright with a swivel stool, Model 12-N, brown (the German color is listed as "nussbaum"). It was in excellent condition, almost like new, and we hope that it will resurface. Would it be possible to forward the piano's description to the Piano Technicians' Guild? I know you frequently get asked for appraisals, and perhaps whoever stole the container will try to find out how much the piano will be worth. The container was stolen in Kearny, New Jersey, but of course, its content could be anywhere by now. ************************************************** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
