| Age and manufacturer are
obviously important factors to be considered in
appraising an instrument, there is however, much more
that needs to be considered to accurately determine the
value of a specific piano. Personal
inspection by a piano technician, knowledgeable dealer or
appraiser is the only way to gage the value of a specific
piano. Prices for pianos vary greatly depending upon
place, time, and situation. With this said, many piano owners and purchasers are looking for at least some general price information. We have compiled a list of the approximate selling prices of various ages, makes, and types of pianos. This list was compiled from research and adjusted for inflation. Listed is the average low and average high selling prices (not asking prices) in different areas for the pianos described here. Descriptions are, of necessity, brief and vague, but all the pianos were said to be in sale-able condition, and, unless otherwise noted, were for sale by a private owner, were not rebuilt, and were not Steinways. The first set is the very lowest average low and average high prices reported by anyone; the second set is the average reported average low and average high prices; and the third set is the very highest average low and average high prices reported. (Note that the extremes listed are not abnormal, but average low and average high prices in some communities.) |
