I don't know anything about prices in America of Bechstein pianos.  But, =
as far as I know, it are very, very good pianos, perhaps always worth to =
rebuild.=20
I can tell you also Bechstein makes two series of pianos:  the first one =
is simply named Bechstein, the second one is C. (from concert) =
Bechstein.   I don't need to tell you the second one is quite a lot more =
expensive compared with the first one.  String scale and soundboard are =
different from both series of pianos.

    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.
    =20
    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.
    =20
    Sounds like this one has had some pretty regular use so YOU will =
have to judge the "current" value based upon replacement cost.
    =20
    You could also e-mail Bechstein for their advice.

        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.=20
