I took some parts out of a Beckwith style 25 player piano.  The serial
number was 58316.  Those of you with a Pierce Piano Atlas will notice
that nowhere in Beckwith's existence did any of their pianos begin with
those numbers.  I read it over and over and it clearly started with
58.  I was reading it in the wood where it had been stamped in the
hole in the plate above the tuning pins.  This _was_ the serial number.

Any ideas as to how there could be a Beckwith with this unlisted number?
