I only service a few of these, and the serial #s are pressure stamped (colorlessly) into the soundboard, either right behind the damper guide rail, or along the spine behind the damper guide rail. They're hard to find if there's any dust. I don't know about the number on the bridge; I always assumed it was a temporary factory sequence number, like the one in the treble corner of a Steinway plate.  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Bob D</FONT></DIV><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Start the year off right. <A title="http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489" href="http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489" target="_blank">Easy ways to stay in shape</A> in the new year. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
