We have just finished a mammoth appraisal of 45 instruments,
including a number of reproducing and expression pianos and
nickelodeons that were in a building destroyed by a tree falling
on it.  Each instrument had to be carefully researched from
a variety of sources and records.  The appraisal took nearly
a month of research to accomplish.

We have done appraisals for many clients over the years.  We have
worked with them and their lawyers in many cases to file their
claims with insurance companies and moving companies to help them
recover their claim in a timely manner.  It is very time consuming
and cannot be done casually.
