Willard Co. of Chicago?? My first Piano
I got my first Piano today, I'm excited to get it tuned up aso I can start playing but I'm curious about its history. I've searched the web and can't date my Piano. Please help! Its a Willard of Chicago serial number 68073 or maybe the 8 is a 0. I'm not to concered about its value I more so want to know when it was made. Thanks in advance!

The number suggests 1905 but most pianos have several numbers inside, so have a look at pianogen.org

WOW! Really? Its in decent shape so I'm sure its been refinished at some point. As soon as I get settled in my new house I'm going to get it tuned and inspected. Hopefully its in decent playable shape. I dont know much about pianos but it seems to work. I cant wait to start learning.
