Piano Evaluation

[Pianotoone@aol.com]

Piano is a Kingsbury 5' Baby Grand built in 1925.

Has been refinished (walnut) and new keytops installed, but no new sharps.

Hammers are worn.  Most could be filed but about six are down to the wood.

Bass strings somewhat tubby sounding but acceptable.

Pins average tighteness. Pinblock not cracked

Sound board has one crack, but it is tight and no rattle is apparent.

Average wear on action.

My first thought is to evaluate this instrument on a "What would it be worth
in mint condition"  and then subtract the cost of the repairs necessary to
get it to that condition.

I don't deal in piano sales enough to know what they are worth...particularly
the grands, baby grands.

Would be interested in the lists opinion as to value.  Just a ball park
figure.

Thanks
