The strength of this information is only as strong as the data included in the lists. This is why I have started these databases of user submitted serial numbers.īy combining production years, serial number ranges, used sales dates as well as CONFIRMED new sales or production dates (assertained throughed Yamaha) it should be possible to extrapolate an approximate manufacture date. For owners of older instruments, knowledge of production year spans, or an original receipt is as close to knowing an exact as possible. It seems that, by Yamahas own admission, their records from prior to 1982 are very limited. Unfortunately this does not hold true for the older Yamaha wind instruments. As a general rule Yamaha can look up a particular instrument in their database upon request and provide a date. This makes dating a Yamaha wind instrument from its serial number a difficult task. Whilst other wind manufactures have issued serial numbers to their musical instruments in a consecutive chronological fashion, Yamaha appears to have issued their serial numbers in a less logical sequence.
