Question
I have the above mentioned piano and would like to sell it.  It deserves to be played.  I believe I found the serial number to be 80396.  Would you be so kind as to tell me a little history about it or where I might find more?  And would you estimate the value for me?  There is a small decal on the right of the keyboard cover that says Bodine Piano Co.  Two other decals note the Starck Piano Co from Chicago IL and the fact that it is a Cabinet Grand.  Thank you so much for your time.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was originally manufactured in 1922.  In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $500.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
