Frequently asked
Does this archive date Scandalli instruments?

Scandalli factory records do not exist; numbers on the instruments are internal assembly codes. This archive dates Scandalli instruments by features (register-switch shapes, grille, markings) — no invented serial tables.

Where is the serial number on a Scandalli instrument?

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

What if my Scandalli 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.
