Fortunately I have until Sept 19th.</font><br><font size="3" face="Arial"></font> <br><font size="3" face="Arial">My next question is this. I was called to do a piano appraisal. The person left a voice mail but didn't provide information regarding the piano brand age etc.  Ive been taught how to evaluate a pianos condition and I've done this on many occasions. but to give it a monitary value, would I use the Piaon BOok as a guide?  Will this resource give me a value for a piano in terms of how much it would cost to replace it based on its current condition, or  would that figure be to replace it with a brand new instrument. I don't know what brand of piano I'm dealing with right now because I need to call this person back tomorrow.  I'll be out of town starting tomorrow until Monday.  If you want to e-mail me privately that would be great due to the fact that for some reason the piano tech e-mails are too long for my phone to display, and I miss all of the content.  Private e-mails I can read. I don't have one of those cool Iphones.  Thanks again</font><br><font size="3" face="Arial">Marshall</font><br><font size="3" face="Arial">215-510-9400</font><br><font size="3" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.phillytuner.com/">http://www.phillytuner.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
