I have tuned two so far. One is from the 60's and needs much work, but it's in a church..."Just tune it, please." ;-) The other is a C171 and is pretty decent. It would be worth around the $6500 mark, if not a bit more. Walnut finish, clean, etc. Sorry, I know it's not much to go on, but that's all I know about them.

Hi, Can anyone share knowledge or experience with Howard pianos? I haven't heard of them. Someone I know is interested in purchasing a 5'9" one for about $6500, and it's from the 60s. He was told it was made by Kawai for Baldwin. It also has a crack in the soundboard its entire length with an epoxy repair, but I'm not sure when this was performed. Thanks. - John
