When we got an ex-CD D at my former employer's(college), the real serial number was to be found in most, if not all, the aforementioned places. The first place I looked was the underside of the keyslip, and there it was! Obviously YMMV!

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. William R.

They both said the same thing, and that is that the piano belonged to the Concert Division, and that it was probably given, or rented to a school for performance halls too small to have a D. Then it was sold off. So the next step is to figure out what those 4 numbers translate to in terms of the age of the piano. I will do some more investigation to see if there are more numbers somewhere else that would indicate the age. Thanks to all who have contributed!
