Hi Terry, I have only seen one of these and as memory serves me it is a transposing piano of one half step either way from center. Just yesterday tuned a small grand that used the unacorda to transpose 1/2 step. A0 to Bb86, weird. Did not take notice of the brand, just the very loose pins and the fact that my new hammer was able to make one to two cent changes in pitch in the high treble. If you like I can get that info for you. A0 to Bb86, weird.

I'm curious about the "changeable pitch" feature. Is this perhaps a used-piano-salesperson's marketing characterization of loose tuning pins?

She wants to get rid of this piano and would like to get a general idea of it's worth before attempting to sell it. She writes; Do you by chance conduct appraisals?

The case is very ornate and walnut in color. The patent date is January 9, 1900, made in Waterloo, NY. Serial # 3509. It is a upright changeable pitch piano. Do any of you have an idea what information I might be able to share with this contact? Thanks in advance for your help!
