Normally they will be quite worn out but easy to sell for a few hundred if they are functional but able to be improved with some basic repairs and adjustments. The big old Gulbransen type of piano could sell for $1000 if it is in very good original condition which is rare. In my area there is a market for older pianos.
Please comment so I can get educated on my next move, Thanks all!
I've thought about refinishing it, but would that be wise? What could possibly be the max amount I could ask if I were to sell it? It has lasted 90 years and is truly a beautiful Piano, my daughter wants me to keep it, but. He told me the this was an extremely rare find! I tried adding some pictures, but I keep getting an error message, I will try to figure this out and then post a link, I hope. He also told me that everything on the Piano was original and that it was very, very sound for a 90 year old Piano. He mentioned verbally he has not seen a piano this old in a very long time that looked as well maintained and was very happy I had called him to look it over. I asked what the Piano was worth and he told me to start out at $1000. Pitch at A440, bridges are OK, No cracks, no cracks in soundboard, ivory keys are in perfect condition, action very sound, no excessive wear, ribs intact and soundboard has no cracks, finish could be better. I just had it appraised by a registered technician with the Piano Technicians Guild.This is his evaluation as of. I recently bought this Gulbransen #262748 (1926) upright piano for the sum of $10.68 from a storage facility in Raleigh NC.
