The person left a voice mail but didn't provide information regarding the piano brand age etc. Ive been taught how to evaluate a pianos condition and I've done this on many occasions. but to give it a monitary value, would I use the Piaon BOok as a guide? Will this resource give me a value for a piano in terms of how much it would cost to replace it based on its current condition, or would that figure be to replace it with a brand new instrument. I don't know what brand of piano I'm dealing with right now because I need to call this person back tomorrow. I'll be out of town starting tomorrow until Monday. If you want to e-mail me privately that would be great due to the fact that for some reason the piano tech e-mails are too long for my phone to display, and I miss all of the content. Private e-mails I can read. I don't have one of those cool Iphones.
