Where to Find the Serial Number
To accurately date your Boston, 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.
