I have an Erard piano - Serial #78880 made in Paris. My research shows manufactured between 1890-1900. Can you get me a specific date? Also, I am interested in selling it via the internet. Any suggestions?

The number suggests 1899, but the numbers are only published at 5-year intervals, so it could be a little bit either way. Erards may have original archives, but they do, we have no access to them. If the action has its maker's name and number, this may help.

No suggestions at all about selling it, apart from the UK Piano pages.
