A long-time customer informed me that he is donating his piano (a small M&H grand) to a religious college and asked me to give him an official appraisal that would satisfy the IRS for a tax write-off, or find him an authorized piano specialist who could do this. What is the rule on this? Can he take the retail value, or wholesale? Who is to say? Is there such a person as an "authorized piano specialist appraiser"? Can I give him an appraisal? Should I?
