How old is your piano? Where your piano was built? And more ...

OPA - The first and one and only Online Piano Atlas application! This application tells you the age of your piano - vertical or grand. It will also tell where and when the original factory was established. Often the original factory was closed, and the brand sold. Because of such change sometimes a different company manufactured your piano from a certain time using the same brand name. The Online Piano Atlas also pays attention to these for you. One of the many advantages of our application is that all the data is stored on our online server. This allows real-time user access., and guarantees accurate and up to date information. We can provide or upload new information in seconds, so when your request is posted, the correct and updated answer comes to you instantly.

We separated the upright and grand piano database, since their serial numbers do not necessarily match within the same brand. To start the search, just touch the category icon of your piano. The application will automatically load the appropriate selection of brands.

Our database includes vast number of brands from the past and present sorted alphabetically, and a quick search is also included.These lists are not final, but we are constantly updating and correcting them. If your piano brand is not found, contact us, and we will make all efforts researching and uploading them.

The past decades many piano manufacturers ceased production, and brands changed owners. As an example; a brand manufactured in Germany until 1950 may have been produced in China since 1990. To provide accurate information, in such case we indicate the change, letting you know that your piano was not manufactured in the original factory location or country but in another one.

Often serial numbers also contain letters. For example Yamaha or Kawai serial numbers indicate the country of origin by letters withing the serial number. This is also posted in our application.

If the manufacturer is still in operation, we list the link to their website.

The Online Piano Atlas is available in multiple languages. Currently available languages are: English, German, Hungarian, French and Simplified Chinese. Languages are user selectable.

User Reviews

The app is valued by piano technicians for fast, on-site data (age/manufacturer) and easy sharing, with a convenient mobile UI and data updates. However, widespread complaints focus on a paywall/bait-and-switch pricing model, incomplete data coverage, onboarding friction, and some UX quirks. Overall, it’s a useful professional tool but not well-suited for casual users due to pricing and data gaps.
Pros
  • Fast, professional-focused lookups with manufacturing dates and maker details; data can be shared with clients.
  • Mobile-friendly interface with a clean, easy-to-use layout that’s handy on service calls.
  • Data can substitute for a large reference like the Pierce Atlas and is kept up to date by the developers.
  • Support and updates are generally viewed positively, with the yearly fee deemed worth it for pros.
Cons
  • Pricing model is a major issue: paywall/don't-free experience with bait-and-switch impressions and unclear upfront costs.
  • Incomplete catalog and data gaps: not all pianos are listed, serial-number edge cases (letters) fail, some models (e.g., square grands) missing.
  • Onboarding friction and payment barriers: difficult registration, pay-before-search, and unclear cancellation/refund options.
  • Occasional UX annoyances and prompts that feel sketchy (donation popups, marketing language).
  • Not ideal for casual piano owners; app seems designed primarily for professionals.

I pay the 12.99 subscription and then it doesn’t give me access, it says to go to support for FAQs and there are none. So I try to submit a comment for them to help me and it refuses to submit because the app thinks I’m a robot. So I can’t even ask them to help me. Please return my money to my credit card.

I’ve been a piano technician for 40 years and have always had the Pierce Piano Atlas to look up the age of my customers’ pianos. Just this week I finally decided to switch to this app. I’m so glad! Not only does the lookup take far less time, but it provides the manufacturing date and company information on a page which I can immediately share with my customer via text. This is a wonderful feature which I am now using on all my service calls. I would say this app is great for piano technicians, probably not worth it for piano owners.

Can’t use at all without subscribing and yet it’s not noted as having In App Purchases. Honestly, I don’t even know how well the app works. If they simply charged $1.49 to download it (the minimum subscription), I would have paid it – no-brainer. Sure, even now, it’s only a buck and a half. Not the point. It’s shady. Would be nice to use the app for the one piano I want to look up and I would have paid the price of admission if they hadn't tried to pull a fast one. Delete.
