Hi again David.

I currently have a Bechstein in shop whose case number is 13.355 and =
whose serial number is 43.957.  So I am quite sure it is from 1898, and =
that yours is from about 1900 or so.  Does it have a fishtail ?  Else it =
would be a model C isntead (220 cm long).

Best regards,

St=E9phane Collin.

  I'm trying to identify the date of a Bechstein IV (7'4").  It appears =
that the serial number has been removed from the plate by overly =
vigorous cleaning.  I can find no other number except an embossed number =
on one of the cross braces under the piano.  This number reads 16226.  I =
don't believe this is the serial number as that would put the piano back =
to 1885.  The owner seems to think it is c 1910-1915.  Anybody know what =
that number refers to and can I trace the date through it?

  Thanks

  David Love
