Question
I have a Cunningham spinet; in almost excellent condition (a few cosmetic scratches, consistently played, tuned and maintained). c. 1907, serial # 30480. Any idea of what it's worth (insurance purposes, not for sale)?

Also, F.A. Reynolds Cornet, serial # 3227, much loved, worn finish, no dents, consistently played. Again, value?

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

The Cunningham is worth $1,000. I am afraid I only know about pianos.

Sincerely,
