Canadian Piano Serial Numbers List

[Ceumar Pee]

Thisis a partial list of piano manufacturers. Most piano professionals have access to detailed information about these brands using a piano atlas to reference serial numbers to determine the year a piano was built.

In Canada, we punch well above our weight, piano-wise. When we started compiling this list of the 25 greatest Canadian classical pianists, we thought that maybe we'd highlight 10 of the best pianists this country has ever produced. But within minutes, we discovered that 10 slots was nowhere near enough. Our list grew to 15, to 20, and finally to a nice, round 25. And we totally could have kept going.

The musicians in the list below have made dozens of classic recordings. They've astonished audiences in Canada and abroad, and they've proven themselves in a variety of musical settings: solo recitals; concerto programs; chamber music. Their repertoire ranges from the core classics of Beethoven and Bach, to contemporary Canadian music, to stuff that nobody would ever have heard if these pianists hadn't dug it up.

HAMILTON PIANO CO., Est. 1889, with factories at Chicago Heights, Ill. Controlled by the Baldwin Piano Company. Gibson Guitars Guitars acquired the Hamilton name in 2001, when they purchased the Baldwin Piano Co. See Acrosonic or Baldwin for additional numbers. Serial numbers are for the first piano made in year shown.

The Supreme Court of Canada is the court of last resort (or the highest court) in Canada. As the final general court of appeal it is the last judicial resort of all litigants. Its jurisdiction embraces both the civil law of the province of Quebec and the common law of the other nine provinces and three territories. As it is a general court of appeal, the Supreme Court of Canada can hear cases in all areas of the law.

They cannot be used for commercial or promotional purposes unless permission for such use is first obtained from the Deputy Registrar by sending a request to that effect by email at rece...@scc-csc.careception@scc-csc.ca.

Yes, but public seating is limited in the courtroom so you must reserve a seat in advance. Please send an e-mail to the Registry at bookingregistry-...@scc-csc.ca. Please note requests cannot be submitted on behalf of other individuals.

Most courtroom proceedings are Webcast live and are later televised by the Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC). CPAC posts its schedule at its site. To obtain a copy of a transcript for personal use, contact the Records Centre either by email at records-...@scc-csc.ca or by telephone at 613-996-7933 or at 1-888-551-1185. Webcasts and audio files of Supreme Court of Canada proceedings may not be broadcast, rebroadcast, transmitted, communicated to the public by telecommunication, or otherwise be made available in whole or in part in any form or by any means, electronic or otherwise, except in accordance with the Copyright Act or with the written authorization of the Court.

At the hearing, counsel may use either "Justice", "Mr. Justice" or "Madam Justice," when addressing the members of the panel hearing the appeal. Counsel are asked to refrain from addressing the judges as "My Lord", "My Lady", "Your Lordship," or "Your Ladyship."

The Supreme Court of Canada consists of nine judges, including the Chief Justice of Canada, who are appointed by the Governor in Council and all of whom must have been either a judge of a superior court or a member of at least ten years' standing of the bar of a province or territory. A Judge holds office during good behaviour, until he or she retires or attains the age of 75 years, but is removable for incapacity or misconduct in office before that time by the Governor General on address of the Senate and House of Commons. Of the nine, the Supreme Court Act requires that three be appointed from Quebec. Traditionally, the Governor in Council has appointed three judges from Ontario, two from the Western provinces or Northern Canada and one from the Atlantic provinces.

You must first determine whether your complaint is about a decision of a judge or the conduct of a judge. If it is about the decision of a judge, contact a lawyer, legal aid office or community legal clinic to determine whether or not you might be able to appeal the decision. A Faculty of Law at a nearby University may also have a program to provide legal assistance.

If you have a complaint about the conduct of a Supreme Court of Canada judge, you should write to the Canadian Judicial Council, Suite 450, 112 Kent Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0W8, fax 613-998-8889 providing the details of the conduct which is of concern to you. For additional information visit the Canadian Judicial Council Web site.

If the complaint is about the conduct (but not a decision) of a judge from another court, contact the court staff, where the judge sits, in order to determine whether you should bring your complaint to the Canadian Judicial Council or to provincial or territorial officials.

There are cases, however, where leave is not required. In criminal cases, there is an automatic right of appeal where an acquittal has been set aside in the provincial court of appeal or where one judge in the provincial court of appeal dissents on a question of law. In addition, the Supreme Court of Canada has a special kind of "Reference" jurisdiction, original in character, given by s. 53 of the Supreme Court Act. The Governor in Council (federal government) may refer to the Court, for its opinion, constitutional or other questions.

You can access such information at the Resources for Self-Represented Litigants portal. This portal provides information and instructions on what is expected of you when you want to bring your own application for leave to appeal or when you have been named as a respondent on an application for leave to appeal.

Although you may represent yourself at the Supreme Court of Canada, we recommend that you retain a lawyer because the procedures are complex. If you are not a lawyer, you may only represent yourself.

You may contact the Registry office by phone at 1-844-365-9662 or by email at registr...@scc-csc.ca. Please provide the Registry Officer with either the names of the parties or the file number from the Court of Appeal. You can also search our SCC Case Information database using various criteria.

Yes. To be notified of the release of judgments in appeals and in applications for leave to appeal, you may subscribe to our mailing list or follow the Supreme Court of Canada on Twitter in English (@SCC_eng) or in French (@CSC_fra). You will also be informed of appeals that will be heard.

The Registrar has the discretion to limit the number of counsel who appear before the Court, to ensure the proper conduct of an appeal hearing. Only counsel who appear for the hearing will be listed in the published reasons for judgment. The purpose of that list in the reasons for judgment is to provide a record of counsel who officially appeared before the Court at the hearing, not to list everyone who contributed to the file for each party.

An annual print subscription to the Canada Supreme Court Reports costs $350.00 plus applicable GST/HST. The price for individual parts is $40. To subscribe to a print copy of the Canada Supreme Court Reports, use the subscription form.

All decisions are published in the Canada Supreme Court Reports (S.C.R.), in a side-by-side bilingual format. The process of preparing a decision for publication takes a few months, and in the meantime, reliable digital versions of the decision in both English and French are provided in HTML, Word and PDF.

From 1970 all Supreme Court judgments published in the Canada Supreme Court Reports (S.C.R.) are in both official languages. In 1983, the Court began its current practice of releasing all judgments simultaneously in both official languages and publishing them in the S.C.R. in a bilingual, side-by-side format.

Please note that prior to 1977 not all judgments were published in the S.C.R. Many of those judgments, which are available by accessing the Court case file, are in one language only.

Yes, you can access docket information, party information, case summaries, the memorandums of argument on an application for leave to appeal and the factums on-line from SCC Case Information. Please note that the memorandums of argument on leave will be posted electronically 30 days after leave to appeal has been granted and the factums on appeal will be posted electronically at least 2 weeks before the hearing unless they contain personal information, information that is subject to a publication ban, or any other information that is not part of the public record.
