My name isXXXXX I am here to assist you.
First off...the Howard Baby Grand piano was manufactured by Baldwin. The 1975 model has a Fair Market value of @ $2,000.00. The Howard was an affordable piano when it was new and the Baby Grand was really popular in the mid 1970's, therefore there were quite a few made and the highest of quality work suffered just a little, and there were a lot of them made! So, their resale value is a little lower than regular Baby Grands of say, Steinway's. I hope this helps you!

I just realized that this piano was n o t made by Baldwin but by Kawai -

in Hamamatsu, Japan - according to a plate inside.

The quality, I always thought, was excellent.

Does that change the picture?

Ok, I will take a look and see what I can find.

Hi again. I did not know this,the Kawai Co. is a Japanese company, but the piano you have was more than likely manufactured in Cherry Hill, New Jersey in 1975.
The resale value of your piano is $3,000.00 - $4,000.00. Very nice little piano!!! Quite popular in the 1970's & 1980's! Good Luck!
