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?

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.
