Question
Hi, I am considering buying a John Broadwood and sons upright piano that I found in a junk shop for £160.  It is approx 1910, it is rosewood and very pretty, still with its original candlesticks on the front and brass inlaid flowers.  the sound board is intact and the keys are original ivory and not too out of tune despite not having been tuned since being moved to the shop.  The price seems to be remarkably cheap, am I right?

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

I would say you got it for a very fair price.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
