Dave,
 
List on the new Seiler 132s(I think that's the current size) is dependent  on 
fanciness of cabinet, but I think they start at around 23k or slightly  more 
list.  The 122s are probably 5k less.  List price is subject  to serious 
change depending on availablity of piano and mood of dealer.

I've  been asked to appraise said piano for donation purposes.  Piano  has
rarely been played, in almost new condition, hammers barely grooved  etc.
Case ebony polished, great condition.  If not for the serial  number, you
would think it new.

I know how to use Larry Fine's book  and depreciation tables, etc, but dont't
find the model 131.  The  current model 122 is of course smaller, and the 132
is the new magnetic  action thingee.  So maybe start with a current retail
price half way  in between?  then apply depreciation factor.?

I would appreciate  any guidance from anyone familiar with the Seiler line
historically as to  which current model to compare.  for retail price and
depreciation  purposes.

Thanks again.
