QUESTION: I have a Starck piano. I think it is a Spinet style. The serial no. is 191666. I'm trying to get any info I can as to when it was made, if it is indeed a Spinet style and the value of it in good condition. Anything you can provide will be appreciated. Thanks SO much for your time and consideration for my request.

ANSWER: Dear Michael,
   Good morning, your piano was built in 1964 according to the serial number.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

QUESTION: Thank you Todd. You didn't mention however, is it what is termed a "Spinet" style? Based on what you see in my photo, would you be able to place an approximate value on it?

Answer
Michael,
   Its probably worth around $500. It also looks like a spinet.  We have an upright section of our website at the following link:  http://www.lindebladpiano.com/piano_info/Upright-Sizes.html
