Hi Tod, I recently purchased an antique farm house and found a Regina piano in the barn. I've done some research. It is #160 and I believe dates back to around 1910. It is in fair condition cosidering its age and is only missing 7 of its ivory keys. It is no longer a oplayer piano. Someone removed the moving parts but I do have the newer parts still intact. I have pictures as well. My question is, WHAT DO I DO WITH IT???? Most dealers around here don't even respond to my calls. One told me to just burn it. Do you have any suggestions? I would like to find it a good home. A barn is not the place for a Regina. Thanks, Maria
Answer Dear Maria,
Thank you for using allexperts. You can try to offer it as a free piano on some websites:
