Mason & Risch Serial Numbers Mason & Risch Serial Numbers Aaron Bousel Wed, 08 Jan 1997 23:30:58 -0500. Previous message:. Next message:. Messages sorted by: Rob Kiddell wroteI've rebuilt several Mason & Risch pianos, and the safest way to find the date of manufacture is the stamp on the action. Look closely, does it have a month and day next to the 1910? That should be your year. Yes, there was a month and day on the action, I just couldn't remember what they were.

I'm more curious as to why they would have displayed so prominently a number that was not the serial number. Mason & Risch serial numbers are notoriously incorrect in the Pierce Atlas, I find Canadian sources are better, such as the Canadian Piano Atlas, formerly from D.M.

Best, now from Pianophile. Both Pierce and Pianophile gave me 1912, according to the second number I found. If the action were made in 1910 is it possible that the piano didn't leave the factory until 1912, especially considering that it's a player? Also, is this a Mason & Risch stencil piano, such as HarmonicHaddon Hall, etc? It's the genuine article. Agraffes throughout the tenor and treble. They made a lovely piano in their day, didn't they?
