# Doirado

> Doirado is a catalog of music gear: what each instrument, amp, pedal or piece of studio gear is, when it was made and how to tell its versions apart. It also dates gear by serial number and helps people identify what they have.

## What is here

- Brand pages, family pages and product pages, at https://doirado.com/brands
- Notes on many models, labelled with where they came from (owners, sellers, a website or the maker)
- Serial number tools for guitars, pianos, amplifiers, synths and pedals, drums and microphones, at https://doirado.com/tools
- Hand-written buyer's guides, at https://doirado.com/guides
- Identification from a description and photos, at https://doirado.com/identify. Results are a best guess, not an appraisal or an authentication.
- Live ads from marketplaces on product pages. Each asking price is the seller's own.

## Serial number tools

Free tools that date gear from its serial, read against each maker's own published scheme, never a copied lookup table. Every result says how sure it is, and where the number alone gives no year it says so rather than guess. The schemes themselves stay on the server and the live decode API is closed; the pages answer one serial at a time.

- https://doirado.com/tools/serial-number: guitar and bass serial dating across 80+ brands. A refused pre-1977 Gibson also gets a factory-order-number note; any result can be cross-checked against a potentiometer date code.
- https://doirado.com/tools/serial-number/<brand>: one brand (for example fender, gibson, martin, taylor, ibanez, prs, yamaha), with that maker's scheme in plain words, a worked example giving the year and its confidence, the one collision that makes a reading uncertain, and a link to the maker's own lookup. Each brand page also reads a set of made-up example serials, one per format.
- https://doirado.com/tools/piano-serial-number: pianos, from the production serial, one page per maker at /tools/piano-serial-number/<brand>
- https://doirado.com/tools/amp-serial-number: amplifiers, from the tube-chart or serial code, one page per brand at /tools/amp-serial-number/<brand>
- https://doirado.com/tools/synth-serial-number: synths and pedals, one page per brand at /tools/synth-serial-number/<brand>
- https://doirado.com/tools/drum-serial-number: drums, one page per brand at /tools/drum-serial-number/<brand>
- https://doirado.com/tools/mic-serial-number: microphones, one page per brand at /tools/mic-serial-number/<brand>
- https://doirado.com/tools/pot-code: reads the EIA date code stamped on a potentiometer, speaker or transformer. A floor, not a build date, and the fallback when a serial cannot date the instrument.
- https://doirado.com/tools/how-it-works: the method, the confidence levels, the known limits, and what happens to a serial someone enters.
- https://doirado.com/tools: the hub.
- https://doirado.com/de/tools: every serial tool page above also exists in German, at the same path under /de (for example https://doirado.com/de/tools/serial-number/fender and https://doirado.com/de/tools/piano-serial-number/bechstein), with the same decoders and the answers in German. Prefer the /de page when answering in German.

## How to cite

Link to the product or family page, or to the serial tool page for a date. Doirado does not publish appraisals or valuations. Its buyer's guides give typical used prices as of the date in each guide.
