Customer Question

I have a Pianola player piano that is approximatly 35 years old. 66/65 keys. That is all I know about it. I can not find it on the web to tell me what it's worth. Can you give me a ball park figure for a "good" condition piano? Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

I do not have a photo and I'm not sure if this is the serial number, but it was all I could find: 15264.

Thanks for the information!

These pianos are not too common today and sale prices depend a lot on condition. Player pianos have declined in popularity quite a bit since introduced so the value will drop a bit for that reason. The serial number you listed actually dates this piano back to 1908 which is more reasonable for a player piano. Based on the age and style as well as the current piano market this piano in excellent condition would have an approximate value of $300-650 in a private sale. Best wishes!
