Ted - I think the best way to handle that is to refer the customer to an antique appraiser. Be honest with them about the musical value being $0 (or whatever), but also be honest with them in not knowing the value of antique cabinetry. People will pay a pretty penny for beautiful furniture, even though it is not musically worth anything. According to other notes in the past week or so, the other way to go would be to have them keep the piano as furniture and turn it into a bookcase or wet bar! Good luck
