How Old Is My Piano?

Curious about the age of your piano?

In most cases we can help you determine the age of your piano based on the brand and serial number.

Because of the tremendous demand for information about the age and manufacturers of the over 12,000 brands of pianos, we charge a nominal fee of $3.50 for this service.
For your convenience, we have also listed some manufacturers that offer serial number/date information on their sites.

Please note: The $3.50 fee is to compensate for the time we spend researching this information. We often have to spend more time on pianos that have no information available because we need to check more resources to be sure we didn't miss anything. For this reason, the $3.50 fee is non-refundable.
We cannot tell you what your piano is worth. For help in determining the value, please visit What's It Worth?

You can use our "Pay Online" options. These options use a secure page to transmit your information. (You will be taken to the payment options page after submitting the How Old Form ) Choose from Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or PayPal or send your $3.50 fee to

Piano World
38 Parky Drive
Enfield, CT 06082

Your card will not be charged until we have provided our answer to you (we only verify the funds are available).

Please note, because there have been literally thousands of manufacturers over the years we cannot guarantee that information is still available for all of them. We will do the best we can to find it for you.
The name on the front of the piano may not the name of the actual manufacturer, make sure you check inside the instrument.
