Having just looked in a recent Ancott Associates Music Product Directory,the ASR (Average Suggested Retail) for a C3 is significantly greater than your numbers. Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA >> Terry, just two thoughts. Number one; never give out numbers, value is a very relative thing and since you are not a relative (ha ha) bow out respectfully from pricing someones piano as it can easily turn into a can of worms. Number two; if you can't stop yourself be sure you are armed with some kind of guide, like the "Ancott", to take the responsibility off of yourself. Ok, I thought of a number three; be sure to always have a "disclaimer" with you. Dave Koelzer DFW
