what kind of horn do you have and what is the serial number.
There is no way to "read"it but you can usually look them up on line.

Serial numbers tell what brand instrument you have, what production line it came from, what year it came from, etc.
This is used by companies to track instruments in case something happens and you need a specific part replaced.
