Question
I recently purchased a Schumann piano from a private owner. I am curious as to any history information that might be available on the piano.  The only numbers I could find are:   863425 and G-80A.  Any info. would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Answer
HI Carol,
  Good morning, Schumann was also built by Kimball & Samick and could had been built by them with that serial number.  It seems that it could had been built in 1986.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
