Where to find the serial number on a Schimmel piano

Upright piano: open the top lid and look at the cast-iron plate near the tuning pins, usually on the left or right side.
Grand piano: look on the plate near the tuning pins, under the music desk, or on the soundboard beside the plate.
It may also be stamped on the back of the case, under the keyboard, or on the keyframe — check with a flashlight.
Ignore model numbers and patent dates: the serial number is usually 4 to 7 digits long.

Good to know

The year in the chart is when the piano was manufactured, not when it was first sold.
Our Schimmel records cover 1900 to 1982. If your number is outside this range, the result shows the closest year we have.
Pianos built decades ago often need more than a tuning: worn hammers, loose tuning pins and dry wood are common. A technician can tell you what yours needs.
