Finke

Serial numbers are located on the underside of the finger lever bracket. They are 5 digits long.

They follow this format:
- 1st Digit: Month made
- 2nd and 3rd Digit: Year made
- 4th and 5th Digit: Sequence of production

Please note, the 2nd and 3rd digits will always be the year made. For earlier models, or a year when production output is under 10 instruments, the serial number may be 4 digits. A high production year, in the triple digits, may have a 6 digit serial number.

Example: #29610 was the 10th horn made in February 1996.
