Ida Maria Grassi Saxophone Serial Numbers
As I promised long ago, I was going to get some information on the Grassi serial numbers. They are from a reliable source. Unfortunately the information is rather sketchy for both the beginning and the end of the company's production lifespan so I will quote here only the SN upon which there is relative but sufficient certainty.
Acurite 00594 w manual. As it always happens these SN charts are never absolutes so one can always think that if an item was produced at a certain date it might have been sold even several months after. Apparently Grassi started somewhere in 1960 or thereabouts with a SN of 1000 (unconfirmed SN) so SN from 1000 until 27395 mark the period between 1960 to 1974. From 27395 to / 1975 from 30267 to from 34881 tol from 37479 to from 39872 to from 41836 to from 43837 to from 45620 to during these following years these SN are also an estimation due to a less than regular sales pattern from 47345 to / 84 / 85 / 86 from 53421 to / 88 / 89 / 90 from 60886 to / 91 / 92 / 93 / 94.
Ida Maria Grassi Saxophone Serial Numbers Chart
The serial numbers come from an absolutely precise source but he told me that many horns were produced at a certain date and sold at a later date from either the shops or the company, this would have been particularly true of Baritones. I see your baritone's neck hasn't got the bands or rings that mine has, making it sure that my neck was, at some stage made longer, could you please measure it for me? BY the way you write in your signature Ida & Maria but that is incorrect. Ida Maria Grassi (one person ) is (she is still alive) the last owner of the true Grassi factory even though they sold the name to a company which is currently importing Asian Saxophones.
