I recently acquired this piano, and I am in the process of having the action restored. The case is in fairly good condition. I would like to know how old this piano is, and how common this type is. I believe the serial number is 866. I found what I believe to be the serial number inside the back of the piano. The number is 116688. Hopefully, someone can tell me something about it.

A serial number is useful to have when trying to date a piano Take of the bottom panel off and you will find it stamped in the sound board.

Eavestaff made a number of different minipianos, so without more details, it's difficult to say any more. Press www below, and press Numbers.
