<< Steinway L,  circa 1904
 original washed out, faded mahogony..veneer fair shape.
 needs a soundboard, pinblock, and action rebuild.
 very worn, and well used piano
 
 I have to do a rebuilding estimate and appraisal of this piano on Monday.
 
 Would anybody who has significant experience with this type of piano, hazard
 an "as is" appraisal value ?  ...Not pie in the sky, but what a good
 rebuilding shop would be normally willing to part with to aquire this sort
 of 'used-to-be-musical instrument.'
 
 Thanks,

For you to buy, about $3000 US.  For a customer to buy to have rebuilt, about 
$5000.
