Question
Hello,

I am trying to find out the value of my piano. It received some damage when some contractors were putting a new roof on my house. The music stand became splintered.
I have a WM. Knabe Co, serial #144346, established 1837, spinet mignonette piano. It,s been in the family for years and would greatly appreciate knowing the approx value for piano and what it takes to replace the music stand.
Thank you so much for this service and your time.

Sincerely, Julie
Note: I will be delighted to rate your service as requested.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was manufactured in 1939.  In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $700.

Sincerely,
