piano appraisal

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Terry,
I have only seen one of these and as memory serves me it is a transposing
piano of one half step either way from center. Just yesterday tuned a small
grand that used the unacorda to transpose 1/2 step. A0 to Bb86, weird. Did
not take notice of the brand, just the very loose pins and the fact that my
new hammer was able to make one to two cent changes in pitch in the high
treble. If you like I can get that info for you.
A0 to Bb86, weird.

Boy, unless I'm missing something here, the piano is likely worth somewhere
between zero and liability (or if the owner were to find a real sucker,
maybe $100 for the fancy case?).

I'm curious about the "changeable pitch" feature. Is this perhaps a
used-piano-salesperson's marketing characterization of loose tuning pins?

Greetings list members,
         I have recently been contacted by someone via email. She wants to
get rid of this piano and would like to get a general idea of it's worth
before attempting to sell it. She writes;


Do you by chance conduct appraisals? I have a 1900 Vough upright changeable
pitch piano that I wish to sell and can not find a piano appraiser.

and

This piano is in poor shape with a couple missing pieces of ivory and a few
broken keys. The case is very ornate and walnut in color. The patent date
is January 9, 1900, made in Waterloo, NY. Serial # 3509. It is a upright
changeable pitch piano.


Do any of you have an idea what information I might be able to share with
this contact?
Thanks in advance for your help!
