    Hello All,

    I have to service a Lothar Schell console tomorrow morning - second time seeing this piano. Last time I couldn't find the serial number in the usual place. Any ideas where it could be?

    For posterity's sake, where have you found serial numbers on both grands and uprights before?

    Thanks,

    I've never heard of a Lothar Schell piano, but look at the back of the piano. Some manufacturers put a sticker on the back, or even stenciled the number into the wood.

    I hadn't heard of them either. German designed but built in China. Actually very nice for a console, looks like a good deal of care was put into the manufacturing process, not just the finish. Easy to service parts, too, which is an obvious plus. Here's a pic:
