Dating Your Aeolian Piano
The Aeolian Company was one of the largest piano and player piano manufacturers in the world, best known for developing the Pianola and later consolidating numerous American piano brands under a single corporate structure.
Where to Find the Serial Number
To accurately date your Aeolian, you first need to locate its serial number. On most pianos, this is stamped on the gold-colored cast iron plate inside the instrument.
- On Uprights: Open the top lid and look inside. The number is usually printed on the plate near the top, often toward the center or right side.
- On Grands: Slide the music desk back or remove it. Look at the cast iron plate between the tuning pins.
