Robert Westphal Piano Age

Post by pmsr08 »

Hello,

I have a Robert Westphal (Germany/Berlin) Upright piano with the serial number: 7585.
Can you help me to find the Piano Age (Year of manufacturing)?

Thanks

I answered your email yesterday on the same subject, the majority of pianos cannot be reliably dated by serial numbers, as explained at
http://www.pianohistory.info/numbers.html

If you could post photos here to show what the whole piano looks like, or email them to me to post, I may be able to tell you more.

There is useful general information about upright pianos at
http://www.pianohistory.info/edwardian.html
and many examples of Westphal pianos resemble the German uprights of the 1890s shown there. Others can be found on Google Images, but I have no dates of serial numbers.

Email via my website.
If you find old references or links on this site to pianogen.org, they should refer to pianohistory.info
