Good luck!" Don, I completely disagree with you. I've seen many, so-called "antiques" = "appraised" by licensend appraisers that it is almost laughable. First, = Antique Appraisers tend to avoid pianos, as they know nothing about them = and usually don't get it right when they do make an attempt at setting a = value. Example: and 1875ish Steinway Square Grand was appraised by one = of these "appraisers" for over $20K!!!!! The insides of this piano were = a disaster, but the outside was very nice. (It had been refinished!)=20 We should hope that the antique appraisers stick to their given skills = and stay the heck out of pianos. We'll all be better off, IMO! Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
