Greetings, Hmm, I'm looking for some general consensus on a price. 10 years ago, I bought a 1892 upright Steinway and restrung it, (3/0 pins and they all feel great), repaired the board and bridges, repinned the action and put in new hammers, dampers, capstan felt, keybushings, frame cloth,etc. In short, we did everything short of replacing the wooden action parts. It is verdigris free and plays well. Very nice original ivory keys, and a refinishing job that looks near mint. It has been rented for $2,000 per year for the last 8 years and now its time to sell it, (son's tuition has finally arrived, which was the reason we have been holding our Steinways all these years). The present renter has been asking to purchase the piano for several years, and I wonder if the list would be able to tell me what pianos like this have been fetching around the country? I haven't seen a comparable upright sold around here in so long, I haven't a clue. What's been some prices gotten for these things?????
