Question

Full view
I have a Schumann Cabinet Grand piano. Serial # 19966. It says 1847 as the year they started making these pianos, however I am not certain of the year this piano was made. I was curious what the value might be. It is in very good body condition. 2 keys dont work, they are stuck? All the keys look good, the ivory is in perfect condition. I will attach a picture. I paid $200.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was manufactured in 1909.  In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $600.
