This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dear Esteemed Pianotech Colleagues, I have a client of several years that is considering selling their 1905 = Ibach 9' (or so) concert grand piano (#51897). I am seeking input of = opinions of an appropriate selling price. The piano is mostly original, = but had a spat of work done to it about 20 or 30 years ago consisting of = restringing, new hammers, new damper felt and a few small shims in the = soundboard. It clearly appears that the piano has had an easy life - = very little wear on the excellent ivory keyboard and the action looks to = have light to moderate wear at most. Touch is ok. Sound is good - bass = is fairly robust, high treble has false beats but no obvious killer = octave, transition is good. The finish is gloss ebony and is in very = good (almost excellent) condition (my guess is that it was also = refinished 30 years ago - and a very good lacquer job done).=20 This is an old piano with light wear for its age - clearly not in = high-performance condition. But, on the other hand, it is nicer than 98 = or 99% of the other 100 year old piano one might run across. What do you think it might be worth in a private sale? The piano is in = Tampa, Florida. I find local prices on most consumer goods to be in line = with most of mid-west American prices, i.e. Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, = Wichita, Atlanta, etc. Thanks much for any input/opinions.
