The one owned by anyone famous. Otherwise, they're pretty much done for. Just museum pieces. The rest are only sentimental family heirlooms. Only memories has such value. even when the piano is a PSO or POS. As Del said, "They're all rebuildable" but does thousands of dollars make them valuable? Doubtful...I had to tell a prominent piano teacher in is 80's (at the time 10 years ago) that the wonderful Chickering concert grand he had in his living room once played by Rubenstein and Gershwin was in need of "much work". He never winked an eye and said, "it is priceless", so it doesn't need any work on on...to maintain the historic value"!.. I sighed and "tried" to tune it...a nasty beasty to be sure..... My thoughts anyways...
