My dear friends,

I was very surprised to see some of you trying to use the
formula for calculating the age of an English or an
Anglo system. It ends up somewhere in the year 2000.

Therefore, here are the formulas that can be used to
calculate approximately the age of your instrument
for each system.

For the English system: (serial# / 769) + 1850

For the Anglo system: (serial# / 4176) + 1850

For the Duet system: (serial# / 111 ) + 1873

This is a bit of guess work! However, it will give you
something to do when you are not practising your music.
Maybe a helpfull item to add to the FAQ Chris ?

My pleasure,
