serial numbers

[Joseph Garrett]

Charles,
I put the original number back on. However, I do add an information
sheet/card, somewhere in/on the piano, indicating that the piano has had
certain work done to it, by me and the date that work was accomplished, (ie
finish date).
Regards,
Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
