Antique Musical Instruments - my upright piano


Expert: Todd Lindeblad - 11/9/2009

Question
Hi Todd,

I am curious to find out how old my piano is.  I think that my great grandmother boutgh it used and since then it has been passed down the family & I have it.  The piano is in VERY good condition and still plays.  All the ivory keys are intact and the finish is all original.  I think this is the serial number 170 880.  It was mrfd continental piano co & Smith & Barnes. Since this came into my family used, can you tell me how old it is and if it's worth anything?  

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was manufactured in 1917. We would estimate it's value at $500.

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

Sincerely,
Lindeblad Piano
