If it's tall, with a full-blow action, it's not a spinet. 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. <br>
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) <br>

I'm looking for a reality check on the retail value of a 1983 Baldwin
spinet - midwest USA prices. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
I'm guessing that a dealer would ask about $2k for such a beast. Yes? <br>
<br>
Thanks. <br>
