Question
Hi Todd. I just purchased a John Broadwood and Sons upright piano for $200. Serial # is 59191 and we believe it is from between 1880-1885. The cabinet is in great shape, the pedals still work, and all of the ivory keys are intact and not chipped. After being tuned it will probably sound as good as new. I was wondering what the approximate value would be for this piano for insurance purposes. Thank you

Answer
Dear Joshua,
  Thank you for using allexperts.  To give you an approximate value, could you email me photos - contact@lindebladpiano.com.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Todd Lindeblad
