Elian - I am firmly of the opinion that Bechstein make the BEST upright
pianos in the world - I was very tempted once in London but bought a
Bechstein "C" Grand instead. You did NOT say what the model was so
"taller-the-better" but even their smaller uprights are excellent.

Somewhere I do have an old pricelist - if you're not in a great hurry I may
find an opportunity to look it up for you. Bechsteins have been SOOoo
expensive in USA that very few seem to be sold there in recent times.

Sounds like this one has had some pretty regular use so YOU will have to
judge the "current" value based upon replacement cost.

You could also e-mail Bechstein for their advice.

    Dear list

    I have just seen an Upright Bechstein piano serial No 153471 made circa
1962 in Germany  It is in good condition, just painted and polished, The
action is in good condition, just repairs it is a Rener action. The only
drawback is that next time hammers ought to be changed they were sanded but
they are on the limit. Strings are ok and tunning pins are ok also.

    Any body has any idea whhat would be its price on the market in US$

    Thank you in advance
