> Keep the origional #. Too much confusion ,and potential for
misrepresentation can result from any changes. Also , many pianos, Steinway
in particular , have the serial # in many places.---keyframe,  keyslip
,lyre.      I once ordered bass strings for a  Steinway A, and got an
incorrect set . Seems the piano was a German Steinway, " rebuilt" @ Steinway
in N.Y. in the 40's and given a new serial number . I'm not sure how common
this practice was but it was a lesson learned  the hard way!
