Bechstein Serial Numbers
You can use this list of serial numbers to determine the age of your Bechstein. Find your piano's serial number and match it up with the corresponding year from the list below. Serial numbers stated are the last of each year.
[Note: Many older Bechsteins have lost their serial number. However I have compiled a chart which lets you date your Bechstein using the "case number" which is found etched into a wooden beam underneath the piano. So if you cannot find your serial number please refer to the Bechstein case number page for an alternative dating method.]
