Question
I live in Anchorage Alaska and have an old Smith and Barnes cabinet Grand. It is in good working order and I would like to sell it, since we have two other keyboards and need the room. Where is the serial number? How do I establish its value and find a buyer, or broker?

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

To find the serial number on your piano, please refer to the useful guide we have on our website - http://www.lindebladpiano.com/piano_info/piano_Serial_Number.html

In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $300.

Sincerely,
