## What is Online Piano Atlas?

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2026-01-23, version 3.6*

Paid for a subscription and all of a sudden it won’t load over cellular data network even though my settings have been verified to be correct. I can’t use it in the customers home anymore.

### 1/5 — Red a refund

*2025-05-26, version 3.6*

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.

### 2/5 — Misleading pricing

*2025-03-26, version 3.6*

It looks like the it’s going to cost you $17.99 to use the app but that’s ONLY to download the app. Once you download it, there is nothing you can do with it unless you pay $17.99 to use it (yearly subscription), which tricks you into thinking that you haven’t paid this initial amount yet (not true). So you accept the payment and then surprise ! You get billed twice… 17.99 for app download + 17.99 for subscription to use the app. The app looks okay so far but I don’t appreciate this hidden pricing.

### 5/5 — I am using it every day

*2024-07-21*

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.

### 1/5 — Purchase Is Required.

*2024-05-23*

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.

### 1/5 — Keine Info ohne zu bezahlen

*2023-09-13*

Hier muss man für jede Suche zahlen.

### 1/5 — Forced “donation” page, unusable app

*2023-06-04*

This app is an absolutely useless source of information, because it won’t even let you search a serial number unless you donate on a sketchy pop up with poorly translated English, and it just feels like a scam to pay to access a PDF anyone can find online. Do not download this app tbh

### 5/5 — Works fine. Go-to app.

*2022-11-07*

YES, there is an in-app purchase. It’s a yearly subscription. I’m an RPT piano technician and use this CONSTANTLY. I don’t mind at all. I used to carry the Pierce Piano Atlas, which is a huge book and got left in the vehicle and never used. This is so much better.

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2022-08-13*

Save your time if you just plan to check it out. App will not let you do anything before paying a fee. App should have been put up for download for a fee instead of being ‘free’ and totally useless upon download.

### 1/5 — Awfull

*2022-05-25*

Hard to register doesnt inform you that you have to pay to use until after download then still doesnt work
