Frequently asked
Does this archive date Castagnari instruments?

Castagnari publishing no serial tables. Post-1990s instruments often carry the date under the grille; earlier ones are dated by bellows/logo/batch features.

Where is the serial number on a Castagnari instrument?

The exact spot varies by era and instrument type — the serial number guide walks through the common locations.

What if my Castagnari serial number is not found?

Recheck the characters exactly as marked, including any letters and leading zeros. Letter-prefixed numbers often belong to student or non-domestic lines that cannot be dated from the number. Some production periods may simply not be covered yet.
