<html> Hi Paul,             You are at fair marke value for this instrument. With afull action rebuild, good board and bridges, restrung, and new dampers , refinished.   I could retail for about 18-19K.

It had new strings and new size 5 pins.  Torque was excellent and pinblock looked good.  Hammers appear to be original, but reshaped.  Sound was not bad, but a little weak in the bass.  It could use new bushings on both front and balance rail - touch is very light.  Knuckles are approaching flat and let off is a big bump when played slowly.  Action needs to be regulated - no rise.  Treble strings very clear. Keytops excellent and original ivory and ebony.  Soundboard has two large cracks that have been shimmed and doweled - looks good.  Bridges are very good - minor cracks beside pins in low treble. This piano was purchased at an auction and then spruced up.  It has been refinished, however there are lines on the original bench which show where the wood was joined.  Otherwise the finish is beautiful red mahogany.  I estimate this piano is worth about $10 - 12,000 CDN, but would greatly appreciate someone that has seen these making some comments.
