Now I'm not going to begin to suggest I have more experience or knowledge
than Isaac, or Mr. Friedman, but, aren't the C&A pianos given the
designation CD and then the digits?  And, if memory serves, Glenn Gould had
CD318.  Now I don't remember what number you had, Clark, but if it's four
digits, I really can't fathom it's a C&A piano.  Four digits would probably
make it from about the year 2094 or some such..... I would suggest that
earlier suggestions that your number is simply a case part number is more
accurate.  I think you'll just really have to dig for that Serial number.
