Selling a Player Piano
By Michael Concordia

Hi Jody, besides the MMD, do you know of any other web sights that
might be a good place to advertise a player piano for sale?  (I have
already posted it in MMD).  I have gotten zilch response from
classifieds in my local newspaper here in West Palm Beach, FL and I
believe my asking price is reasonable ($2,000) for a mostly restored
player (still has original strings, but stays in tune and sounds
nice).  I did electrify it thinking this would make it more salable but
it can be foot pumped with ease as well.  As classified ads are quite
expensive, I thought it might be worth posting in an appropriate
classified forum.  A web search turned up only some antique pages but
nothing that looked to specialize in mech.  instruments.  I would
welcome any suggestions on other ways to market it.

 [ and
 [         fl.forsale

 [ Your Internet Service Provider can provide you with information
 [ on how to do this if you do not know already.

 [ Beyond that, you could take out a classified ad in either the
 [ AMICA or MBSI bulletin.  It may not be too late to get in for
 [ the December issue.
