Hello all, Can someone give me a ballpark figure on the retail price of a piano? It's a 5'8" 1929 Mason and Hamlin. It was rebuilt perhaps 10-15 years ago, I do not know by whom, but they did a great job. It has a new pinblock (with new strings, naturally), new hammers (including shanks and flanges), dampers and flanges, whippens, and keytops (not real ivory). The soundboard appears to be original, I don't know about the bridges. I think the cabinet is mahogany, but I'm not 100% sure. The whole thing is in beautiful condition, with no damage except light scratches on the keyslip and fallboard, obviously caused by fingernails, and a small crack in the treble area of the soundboard. Anyway, it is in Joplin, MO and the owner has passed away and it is being sold by her granddaughter. She is hoping to get $15,000, but I thought perhaps it could be worth coonsiderably more than that. I just don't have much experience with prices for pianos of this caliber. Thanks, Paul Mulik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/attachments/20100330/f51e59ce/attachment.htm>
