Hi Jurgen,I had a customer several years ago who owned a miniature upright (bigger than a toy piano, much smaller key span and height than a MiniPiano). Her dad had worked at a piano factory, and it was a bit of a tradition among his crew to make these for their very young children. She had an old local newspaper clipping from when she was presented it as a toddler. She wanted it tuned, several sticking keys eased, and an appraisal/evaluation. I affirmed that it was in fair/good & working condition, and she was planning on bringing it to an "Antiques Roadshow" type event to get an "official antiques dealer" to give an opinion as to its "Amazing Value As A Collectible."
