 Thanks for the information!

Based on the current piano market and depreciation since new this piano would be valued at approximately $1,100-$1,500 in a private sale or auction setting. Pianos from this maker are on the slightly lower end value wise. In addition, player pianos aren't nearly as popular as they used to be, meaning additional decline in current values. Best wishes!
