(p.s... doesn't have to be this PARTICULAR >piano....:) I have a customer with a piano which may be an earlier instrument by the same maker. It has "Schmid & Schuler auf Bosendorfer" on the fallboard is closer to 7' long and doesn't have a full plate and there isn't anything written on the plate that I can remember. I interpreted the words on the fallboard to mean that he studied at the Bosendorfer factory and then went out making pianos for himself and capitalizedd on the Bosendorfer name. I can only estimate the age as late 1800's but the serial number is 9846 and maybe you have some info on that. What part of the country are you posting from? David Lamoreaux, RPT
