Hi, could you please check Excel (5str) serial # 99X11937. I'm just about to buy one and thus want to check its history and origin. Thanks in advance!

Hello Anton and welcome to the Alembic forum. This serial number lookup is performed by Mica at the Santa Rosa office where all the instrument records are stored.  This is done along with many other responsibilities.  Thanks for understanding that this free service isn?t always expeditious due to the demanding schedule at the office. Please be patient.  If you post pictures many of ushere will assist you with information on the instrument while you wait for the recorded information. Best regards, Art
