Question
I have just inherited a Wm. Knabe piano from an uncle who was 99 years old when he died.  It is beautiful and has the Mignonette in gold script lettering on lefthand side of keys cover.  Inside it has the numbers 118680.  Could you give me the approximate value

Answer
Hi,
   Thank you for using allexperts.  The piano was built in 1936. It is worth around $1,000. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
