appraisal Kawai GE-2

[John M. Formsma]

Tom,

 

There's a depreciation schedule for pianos in Larry Fine's book. With that
compared to the value of a comparable new model, you could get really close
to the market value. I think I posted the depreciation schedule a few weeks
ago - you could check the archives.

Any thoughts on the value of a Kawai GE-2?  

 

Not sure of the exact age of the piano, but it's about 10 years old, maybe a
bit more.  Cabinet (high-gloss ebony) in perfect condition, owned by a piano
teacher, so it's had it's share of use.  I've resurfaced the hammers and
voiced the piano, done some regulation work on it, so it's as good as it's
going to get.  (I say that only because octave 5 seems awfully weak,
sustain-wise, a problem I have not been able to remedy.  The piano teacher's
never been very happy with it, but it's not a bad instrument, really.)  

 

She's moving and has opted to sell it rather than move it.  The instrument
has been tuned regularly.  I will miss her every six months. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Tom Sivak
