Susan. While old Vose pianos were pretty good instruments, and they did have some interesting design features, from a technician's point of view, in the Midwest, for the most part, they're nothing more than an old upright, worth little or nothing to the average consumer.

This is a superior instrument! It's designed up to the eyeballs and full of good stuff. It is incredibly stable, and the tone and regulation are still excellent. I've told the church where it lives that if they ever decide to get rid of it, I WANT IT! I can't imagine anyone selling something like this for $15k, but if the facts were known to potential buyers, a Vose upright in a reasonable state of preservation ought to sell for a lot more than they probably do now.
