Antique Musical Instruments - Baby Grand Piano


Expert: Todd Lindeblad - 11/5/2009

Question
Hello, we have a baby grand piano, that needs restoration, it is currently in a few pieces and needs tuning, etc. We can't seem to figure out the brand of the piano as the piece that covers the keys is missing. We have located and found the serial number, it is as follows: 16526. We have also found a embossed S with a circle and an embossed R6 and it's by the serial number and embossed in a gold metal. The location of the serial number is in underneath the piano itself in between two pieces of wood, like a triangle. Can you please help us? We are wondering how much it would cost to resore and if it's worth anything. We cannot afford an appraiser to come out, they are expensive. Please help. Thanks.

Answer
