Question
I have an old small Wurlitzer piano.  I was told it was a circus piano.  The keys are ivory but are chip.  It only has 60 keys.  It has been painted and is in need of restoration.  The number on  the harp is 138577. I would like to know the history of the piano and  the value.  Is it worth restoration.   I thank you for any information you can give .

Hi,
   Thank you for using allexperts.  Your piano was built in 1935.  It is built in a very good vintage so it may be worth restoring. Would you be able to email me photos of your piano to contact@lindebladpiano.com.  I look forward to hearing back from you.

Sincerely,
