Question

piano
I have a player Ivers and Pond piano of unknown age. The cabinet  is in very good shape it needs tuned and the bellows for the foot pump are dry rotted but it still plays with the electric converter. Is it worth restoring or selling as is? Can you tell me its age. The number 101625 is etched inside the top, and says equipped with Ukelano. I have owned it for over 25 years.

Answer
Hi,
   Thank you for using allexperts.  It is better to sell the piano "as is."  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
