Wim, good range of value, though with the piano being 65 years old and original inside, showing verdigris and some veneer damage it might be closer to the $15k, on the retail market. On the wholesale market I would consider this piano only in a rebuilding light and go back to the $10k to $12k range.<BR>

Dave --This is totally consistent with reality. Add the price of a really good finish, complete new action, plate finish, strings , Block? Any bridge work or soundboard cracks? Ka ching 15 k plus 15 k hmm Maybe.<BR>
