Appraisal
Player Piano World offers a very thorough and inexpensive fully detailed piano appraisal’s.
The most accurate way to determine a used piano’s value is to have a local piano technician – who has knowledge of the piano sales market – perform a detailed onsite assessment of the piano’s condition and appraise its value.
Piano valuation is not determined by looking it up in a piano “blue book”.
Unlike used cars, used pianos are not neatly categorized and valuated according to specific year, make,
model and features.
Many factors affect a piano’s value including: age, geographic location, the condition of the piano’s cabinet, structure and inner parts, and the eagerness of the potential buyer (or seller).
Any piano is ultimately worth what someone is willing to pay for it, but many people have no idea even where to start when it comes to pricing their piano once they intend to sell it. On the other hand, potential buyers are not sure whether or not a used piano for sale is reasonably priced. Many piano owners haven’t the slightest idea of whether or not their piano is worth a great deal, or next to nothing.

Many people in our experience have expressed the interest in simply getting a ballpark value of their piano without having to pay a piano technician $100 to $250 to thoroughly assess and appraise the value.
