Question
Todd I Have A Red Japinese Painted Player Piano That My Grandfather Bought For 1000.00 In 1950-1960?  It has Everthing Still On IT . Stultz & Bauer  Of New York I Cant Find Model # Or Serial #  Can You Tell The Value . Thank You !

Answer
Hi Randy,
  Could you try to find the serial number of the piano - http://www.lindebladpiano.com/piano_Serial_Number.html  Also, without seeing any photos of the piano or knowing the condition, it is hard to tell.  If the player piano still works it may be worth $2,000 - $3,000 otherwise it is probably not worth much.  A piano is only worth the condition that it is in.  Feel free to email me photographs if you like at contact@lindebladpiano.com.
