Question
Hi,

Please can you tell me how much it is worth? I'm in the UK.

Antique ‘Cottage Upright’ Piano - Steel frame with polished wood exterior . Includes original wooden music holder, which folds on hinges into the top of the piano.

The serial number is 108474, which means it would have been built between 1905 and 1910, at Broadwood’s factory in Hackney, in the east end of London

It presents very well, and is in good condition for its age, with the finish fair to very good in most places.  However, there are a few minor marks and scratches.  

Thanks, Gem x

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $500.

Sincerely,
Lindeblad Piano
