Surely as a "player" piano the overall length is greater than were it an
ordinary piano - usually by up to 12" ? So I agree with David's appraisal.
Possibly. :-) I think...

Well, used by the Long Beach Opera has to increase the value...but the
player probably decreases the value...7+ feet increases the value...hmm, I'd
say it is somewhere between $600 and $8000...but I could be wrong...;-]
