Even if it's console size, but has a drop action, it's a "drop-action console." If the rear ends of the keys (capstans) extend under the wippens, then it's a console.? ? Yes, a dealer might ask $2K, but through the newspaper, between private parties, it might be hard to get more than $1200 - $1500 unless the finish is really like new. (Looks always seem to matter more than the quality of the instrument)? ? --David Nereson, RPT? ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farrell" <mfarrel2 at tampabay.rr.com>?

It is a tall one (for a spinet) with the Baldwin full-blow action. Case is good to very good, and mechanically the piano is in very good condition - I would estimate that it has average to light wear for a piano its age. The regulation is good.? ? I'm guessing that a dealer would ask about $2k for such a beast. Yes?? ? Thanks.? ? Terry Farrell?
