piano appraisal

[Farrell]

Boy, unless I'm missing something here, the piano is likely worth somewhere between zero and liability (or if the owner were to find a real sucker, maybe $100 for the fancy case?).

I'm curious about the "changeable pitch" feature. Is this perhaps a used-piano-salesperson's marketing characterization of loose tuning pins?

Greetings list members,
         I have recently been contacted by someone via email. She wants to 
get rid of this piano and would like to get a general idea of it's worth 
before attempting to sell it. She writes;


Do you by chance conduct appraisals? I have a 1900 Vough upright changeable 
pitch piano that I wish to sell and can not find a piano appraiser.

and

This piano is in poor shape with a couple missing pieces of ivory and a few 
broken keys. The case is very ornate and walnut in color. The patent date 
is January 9, 1900, made in Waterloo, NY. Serial # 3509. It is a upright 
changeable pitch piano.


Do any of you have an idea what information I might be able to share with 
this contact?
Thanks in advance for your help!
