Question
I have a 1939 Storytone piano... it is in what I would assume to be original condition. Its not too beat up and it still plays, it has a built in amplifier and speakers but I dont have the courage to plug it in. Anyway, Im looking to sell it and I was curious of its value. Also, is this a piece that would be worth restoring before selling? Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi,



Thank you for using allexperts.

In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $500-800. Unless the piano has sentimental value to your or your family, its value monetary alone would not qualify for restoration.

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

Sincerely,
