If it is any different to this assumption please let me know and I will assess if it significantly alters the appraisal.

I will assume that save for the usual maintenance associated with regular tuning this piano is essentially as originally built. Thus one of the overriding factors in any appraisal valuation is the type and standard of the original build mechanics plus their age and condition. The life of these instruments can often be extended by careful regular maintenance/tuning/repairs and some restoration over the years or a total re-build/restoration of the major mechanical components. Generally pianos have a limited life span of around 60 years mainly due to the wear during use and natural deterioration of the mechanical parts over time, such as the action, the strings, the soundboard, the tuning pins, the pin block, etc. Welcome to JustAnswer and it will be my pleasure to help you.īased on this piano being dated 1962, it is around 55 years old and in the height range of approx.
