Customer Question

Our house burned to the ground in the Waldo Canyon Fire and we lost our Everett Upright Grand Piano. It was oak and had a signature inside on the fourth key. It was beautifully refinished. We are trying to find the value.

Hello,
My name is XXXXX XXXXX X'll be pleased to help you with this question.

I am so sorry to hear of your troubles!

Do you know when the piano was built?

Customer replied 256 days and 10 hours ago.

Not sure, I know it was the late 1800's. We purchased it 1991, i know it was over 100 years old then and even perhaps 1110 or 120 years old. It had the signature key which we were told occurred only every so many pianos with Everett. I believe our piano was oak. It had a light to medium finish.

Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX this information.

If your piano was in fully restored, excellent condition, its current retail (replacement or insurance) value is approximately $9,500.
