Charles, 

Do  you believe a 30 year old Hamburg in good condition (other than needing  
stringing and a new stack) might fetch between $45-50,000? or more?  

Thanks 

Paul 



Paul
 
You said the piano is in good condition, yet it needs to be restrung  and 
needs a new stack. That is not exactly chicken feed. Or is that why you  consider 
the piano in "good" condition, instead of "excellent" condition?
 
There are some questions that need to be answered before an  appraised value 
can be put on the piano. 
 
Why does the professor want it appraised? Is she looking to sell  it, or for 
insurance purposes? If she's looking to sell it, how long  is she willing to 
wait, and how far afield does she want to advertise, and  for how long? If it 
for insurance, does she have "replacement value" insurance,  or "as is" 
insurance? 
 
A shameless plug. For more information on appraising, please attend my  
Estimate and Appraising class at the convention.
 
Wim
