I would be grateful for news of any early Paris Erard piano with a serial number less than 14,000, to help with my research. You can post a reply here, or email me.

we have an early erard, i dont have the serial number with me, but we dated it as being late 1830's. It is highly ornate, with victorian looking legs, the knee board and front panel have patterns cut out of wood, backed with red felt. i will send you pictures of it if u like?

That would be great if you could email me, provided I can tie it to a number. Thanks.
