How many used or rebuilt 9' pianos have you sold?  It's a tough market for=
 those pianos.  Every musician wants a 7' piano, but few have the space,=
 nor want to hear the volume of a 9' piano in their home.

As far as what it's worth, in the circles I've been 
in, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for 
it.  Carcase value to me might approach $10K.  It

uneducated oppinion.) 




Brian.  A carcass value of $10K? A 7' Steinway can get that much. Don't 
forget, this is a piano valued new at $175,000. I would put a carcass value=
 
of around 
$40,000 -- $50,000. 

My uneducated opinion.
