Keith: The $12,500 for the Chip L Steinway seems right, but only if you are thinking of keeping the piano for your own use. Unless no major work needs to be done to it, you are not going to get more than that for it on the retail market. Remember, a piano of that vintage will probably need some major work, ie: finish, pin block, action work, maybe even a soundboard, in another 20 or 30 years. All that has to be taken into consideration. The other thing to remember, is that in your neck of the country, the market is not as good as on either coasts. If you are going to sell it later, you might try selling it there. Wim Blees St. Louis.
