Although a good knowledge of new pianos is helpful, knowing the market for used pianos is even more crucial. Unless you are in the business, or know someone who sells used pianos, it is difficult to determine the value of a used instrument. If you need help with a particular piano, just get on the list, give the name, age, and overall conditon of the piano, and someone will give you a ballpark figure. It is also important we know where in the US live. That is also a factor in determining the value of a piano. Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
