Post by johnlees45 »

Where is the serial number, please, on my 1963 (I believe) Bentley piano?

My tuning records for Bentleys of the sixties don't show any special problem associated with finding numbers, and I can only conclude that they were easily visible inside the top of the piano. If not, try removing the bottom door - the front panel under the keyboard. Last resort is on the back of the piano. It should also have a datemark, see

Bentley Serial Number

Hello. I found it literally seconds after I had posted the message and tried to delete the message (I thought I had) but obviously it was too late. The number is clearly visible on the top right of the frame and is 93848, though with a bit of imagination it could possible be 98848 (I'm pretty sure it's the former). Thanks for your reply. John.
