Ellington piano

[Frances Helms]

Duaine,
You don't indicate whether this is a grand or an upright.  The Ellington Piano Co. Cincinnati, Ohio, est 1893 is now controlled by Baldwin Piano Co. but Disc. in 1930.  Accordington to the Pierce Piano Atlas, these were manufactured from 1895 to 1930.  

If you aren't a piano technician, you should contact one who is a memeber of the Piano Technician's Guild for an appraisal of the piano.  No one can evaluate a piano without looking at it.  You should expect to pay for his/her services.

A lot depends on the condition of the piano, whether it is an upright or a grand, etc.
Good luck,
