Howard Grand

[Farrell]

A piano like that new today (if it were made) might be what - about $10,000?

If it is REALLY clean - looks good inside also - and sounds good (for what
it is) - a dealer price might be as high as $6,000 (yikes!).

I think a high price for a private sale might be $5,000.
Low end of prices for a private sale might be $3,500.

That's my guess.
