Question
Dear Todd,
I have a small piano--38 white keys, 26 black keys. It measures 40" high by 42" wide by 22"deep.  There is a metal plate inside that reads "Imperiale" and also the number 32252. I am trying to find any information as to the value of this piano as we are considering selling it. Can you help me?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Don

Answer
Dear Don,
   Thank you for using allexperts. I'm unable to find any information on the piano brand, "imperiale."  If you email me photos I'll try to assess its value for you.
