Question
I have a small upright Stark Piano approx. 5'X 4'.  It seems to be in good repair internally. a little rough on the outside.  The logo is P. A Starck Piano Co. signed by the P. A Stark.  The Serial Number is #144609. Can the Age and approximate value be determined?
                                 Thank you

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was manufactured in 1946.  In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $750.

Sincerely,
