I am in the process of tearing apart a Vollmer player piano for a rebuild. The serial number is 25515. I'm wondering whether anyone has information as to what year that represents. The Pierce Piano Atlas serial numbers don't go that high, and the last year listed is 1928. We know the piano is older than that because of tuning dates written in. H. C. Bay made Vollmer, but their numbers are no better. After going bankrupt, Estey bought them, but those numbers aren't any better. Maybe I'll find a year scribbled on the action somewhere. It would be nice to know. Arlie Rauch Glendive, MT
