appraise antiques

[Carman Gentile]

  Is there anyone in California who can appraise the -antique- value of
old pianos?

  My customers with square grands often ask me to estimate the value of
their antique instruments.  I tell them I can estimate the piano's value
as a musical instrument but not its value as an antique.

  The local antique store owners have no particular expertise in
appraising pianos as apart from antique furniture.

  Anyone with any ideas?
