Is there a site where I can find out when my Larrivee was made based on the serial #. If this has been asked before (and I suspect it has) my apologies.
This site will help you narrow it down: http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/index.php?title=Larriv%C3%A9e_Serial_Numbers
Thanks to forum member ST for putting this together :cheers
The site the forum members put together is a good start, but there are several things that make it hard.
1) Larrivee assigns the serial number based on start date. Every once in a while a body will be started and sit in the back of the shop for years before it is finished.
2) Larrivee has in the past run multiple serial number ranges simultaniously. For example, the original runs of -03 instruments made back in the late 90's had their own serial number ranges, so my OM-03 has a 4-digit SN.
How to date my larrivee using serial #? I'd try a nice meal, a bottle of wine and then a sing-song later rather than a serial #.
I'm really sorry, I'll shut the door on my way out...
