Enter the serial number marked on your Tula bayans instrument — usually on the valve casing, bell or receiver.
Tula bayan serial numbers do not encode the year. Look for the internal ОТК stamp (often dated) and construction features.
The exact spot varies by era and instrument type — the serial number guide walks through the common locations.
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.
