Question
Hello, I have a Schumann with a serial 19454. Can you tell me if it indeed was built in 1903 per rumor, and what kind of value on it, as it has been kept in use? The sound board could stand repaired/replaced, prob. but plays pretty good for an elderly lady :)

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts. Your Schumann piano, serial #19454 was built in 1909 and the approximate worth if it is a Grand, $500 and if it is an Upright, $300.
