Question
I restored a P A Stark upright piano serial #58414. Can you tell me the age? Hard to find info on that one. Very nice shape.
I also have a Kranich & Bach serial # 45846 that needs restoration, but wonder about value after the effort. Has nice woodwork. I think it was made between 1900 and 1910
Hi Steve,
Thank you for using allexperts. Your Starck Upright was built in 1914. Also, in regards to your Kranich & Bach was built in 1906 which is a very good vintage. If the piano has nice wood work, it might be worth restoring. Would you be able to email me photos at contact@lindebladpiano.com. Once I assess the piano, I'll let you know what you should have done to the piano. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Todd Lindeblad
