In order to facilitate finding the serial number, the following images demonstrate where the serial number usually can be found on grand pianos and upright pianos.

This old grand piano often works with a Viennesestyle action.

The pictures above show how you can detect a Viennese-action.

The arrows show you the damping and the fulcrum of the hammer handles which mark this difference.

You can see a picture of the crosssection of a Viennesestyle action under the menu item Technical Information.

Why should you refrain from instruments with a Viennesestyle action The last instruments constructed like this were built in Austria around 1920.

That means, instruments containing a Viennesestyle action are older than 90 years by now.

Such musical instruments are not suitable for a serious piano education.

For this reason, these grand pianos should not be used for beginners and piano students.

In most instances, service or repair works do not make any sense with those grand pianos.

Exceptions are a special age (historical value) or antiquarianism (special inheritances).

In this cases, the focus does not lie on the current value but on a sentimental value.

Tonal as well as in terms of technical requirements (repetition, precision of the regulation) these instruments do not meet present standards.

Because of wonderful veneer works or beautiful carvings, technical and age-related deficites are overlooked.

Today the decision of investing in further service and repair works or buying a new piano is not easy.

In these cases, the owner has to take technical requirements, for example, the condition of the mechanics (wear and tear), the keys (key bushings and key top), the pinblock (strength of the tuningpins) and the soundboard into account.

To evaluate the technical condition of an instrument you should always consult a specialist.
