Greetings, <BR>
I have just been asked to evaluate (for donation to a State University) a <BR>
Kawi KG-2E. The piano has never been played, not a scratch on it, not a <BR>
string mark on the hammers. It is 10 years old and may as well be a new <BR>
piano,(though the bass windings are not as bright as brand new copper). It <BR>
does need to be regualated and tuned. <BR>
Anybody care to throw out what the fair market value of this piano might <BR>
be? I don't know that the model is still made, so I don't think I can get a <BR>
direct comparison. The dealer, of course, wants the figure to be as high as <BR>
possible, (he mentioned $20,000) the IRS wants it to be as factual as <BR>
possible (makes me think more like $12,000 tops). <BR>
??? <BR>
Thanks, <BR>
