Hi David,
I advised them a while back that I wasn't an expert on S&S salvage values,
but that I was pretty sure it would be worth a minimum of $5K, and maybe
even up towards $8K or $10K as the price of these things seem to be
continually rising.
I did ask him today (the pastor of the church) if he had any set price in
mind. He said he didn't. I told him I would post the availability of this
piano and see what happens.
I suppose the thing to do would be to make an offer if you are interested. I
haven't looked at the piano in about two years. My recollection is that the case is in fairly good
shape (ebony) and that many would rebuild it with the original soundboard -
but of course, that would not make it a great piano. It would really need a
new soundboard to be great.
Call me if you wish. Maybe what I need to do first is take a run down there
(its only five miles or so away) and look at it again. Maybe take a few
pictures. I'll try and get out there the first part of next week.

Seriously, what do you think they want for it? What's the case like?
You did give them a very low appraisal, right? I might be interested, then, if you don't beat me to it. J

A client of mine wishes to sell a 1973 S&S model L. This is a Teflon S&S and the piano has been in a church for many years and has had the stuffing beat out of it. I had given them a proposal for a complete remanufacturing of the piano a few years ago. The action shakes and rattles like a bucket of bolts and it has a prominent killer octave area.
Anyone interested in this good salvage condition L? They are looking for best offer.
