        I've been asked to appraise a Steinway L, vintage 1973.  One of =
the
methods I'd like to apply is the idealized value minus costs to restore.

        Also, I don't see many Steinway model anythings pass through the
market here in Montana, so any perspectives on market value, especially
close by (Mark Story?), would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Used Steinway sales are pretty brisk around here.  When I'm in your =
situation, I call the local Steinway dealer for help on a probable =
resale range.  Depending on your relationship, this can be tricky.  I =
have a good relationship with our dealer, so have had good success.  =
FYI, our dealer over here is Mark Harrison of Squires Pianos =
(509)326-3355.  The approach I usually take is to get a figure from Mark =
on what he would price a piano at in good condition and go from there, =
adjusting for it's current condition, location and so-on.
