Appraisal of old Chickering

[CCL Pianos]

Edward Swenson RPT in Trumansburg NY ph 607 387 6650 does mostly antique
restorations and is knowledgeable in the apprasials of these older beasts.
Problem is when a piano gets this old, you have to start at the bottom and
rework it all the way up. by the time you do that, it costs a small fortune
and most people aren't in that mode of expense. However, in my experience, I
have found a customer for every piano, at the right price. Supply and demand,
sort of stuff. There really isn't a "Blue Book" for these older pianos. But if
you found a piano like the one you're mentioning in perfect condition, all
original, no scratches, no cracks, etc. how would you size up this one you are
looking at? POS?
