Value of Steinway OR Duo-Art Grand
By Bob and Sonja Lemon

I've been asked to come up with an approximate value of a Louis XV
walnut art case Steinway OR grand piano (c.1927).  It is excellent
unrestored condition.   I tried to search the internet for information
and could only come up with inflated, after rebuild, prices.  The
instrument in question shows no signs of any rebuild, just a little
retubing as needed at the tracker bar.  I would appreciate an idea of
current unrestored value.

The case is in excellent condition, except for a small amount of damage
to the carving above the rear legs, and minor scuffing on the base side
lower molding.  The ivories are in excellent condition, except for a
small amount of yellowing, some of which would probably wash off.  The
sound board has no cracks or other damage that I can see.  The strings
are still shiny.  the player has not worked for approximately 10 years.
I did not try to run the motor because the pump bearing grease was
stiff and I did not want to cause any damage.

I do not have a site to post the pictures, but will gladly send
pictures to anyone wishing to view them.
