The case is made of Circassian Walnut, which is what I'm wondering about. Is this wood unique enough to affect the appraisal? If anyone has any input on appraising this piano, please e-mail me directly instead of posting it on the pianotech site. Thank you.

Are the keytop still the original ivory? Does it have a matching bench? Curious minds want to know. Wim
