Dallapè serial numbers.

Dallapè is among the oldest accordion houses in Italy. Dealer experience suggests its numbering ran continuously for a long period, with reported sale points landing where the decades should be — but no factory table is published. Points shown here are unofficial dealer reports, clearly labelled.

One of the oldest Italian names.
Possibly a continuous sequence.

Frequently asked
Does this archive date Dallapè instruments?

Dallapè has no published serial table; the numbering looks continuous, but only isolated reported points exist (marked unofficial). Feature dating plus these points is the honest best effort.

Where is the serial number on a Dallapè instrument?

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

What if my Dallapè 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.
