Bechstein Value

[John M. Formsma]

Paul,

Larry Fine has a depreciation schedule for pianos in his Piano Book. Could
you use that along with the current retail price to get you in the ballpark?

Here's a Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend panic question.

Bechstein Model "M" Grand
Six Foot
Manufactured in 1972 (S.N. 164270)
Black Poly Finish- perfect condition
Ivory Keys- perfect condition
Needs only tuning and minor regulation, with some light hammer shaping.

This is a dandy sounding piano in great condition.

What would your considered opinion be as to a fair asking price?
