5.0 out of 5 stars Still the Best Source for Piano Ages, March 21, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pierce Piano Atlas 12th Edition (Paperback)
The Pierce Piano Atlas has been a trusted source for the piano industry and the public for many years now. It is still the best single source when you want to know how old a piano is.

With over 12,000 piano manufacturers represented it is the book to turn to when trying to uncover the date a piano was built. The latest (12th) edition also has lots of interesting tidbits about the piano and the piano industry.

If you are in the piano business, or are an enthusiast, this is a great book to add to your library.
