Fenton asks: << old 6'10" Steinway s/n 68xxx, 85 note with intact ivory, original finish was ebony now ugly antique white with all original case parts in reasonable condition. Piano is basically a rebuildable shell needing a board along with everything else but it is playable and usable as is. In trying to advise my client I would like to give them some idea as to it's as is value and potental completely restored value. >> Greetings, As a rough guide, I think Steinways needing total everything are usually selling for about $1,000 per foot. If it is a natural wood finish, about $ 1,500 per foot. If it has some custom cabinet work, $ 1,700-2000 per foot. Perfect ivory adds about $ 500, significantly loose veneer subtract $ 1,000, and if there is sentimental value, none of the above numbers apply. These are mid-America prices here in Gnashville, the East and West coast numbers may be different.
