This model was also known as a D.H. Baldwin model C-170 or a Wurlitzer model C-172. They're just a basic 5'7" grand in a poly finish. As someone mentioned, given the available price for Chinese grands, Indonesian grands, etc. that can be sold new with a warranty, you need to look closely at this one to see what your market will bear before you sink the bucks into it. <br> <br> I hope this helps,<br> <br> Allan<br> Allan Gilreath, RPT<br> <br> Alan Barnard wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:05255A2B090E0E160C14001002@Barnard-PC" type="cite"> <title>Should I?</title> <style>  </style> <div> <div>Advice from experience, please.</div> <div> </div> <div>I have a chance to buy a Howard C-171 from a church, with the idea of selling it at a profit after some regulation, etc. The piano is a pretty fer drive from me and I'm not familiar with this model. They bought it new in the 80's, I think, and the case is supposed to be in good shape with, apparently, a ding on one of the cheekblocks.
