Question
I have been the owner of a beautiful Evan's Bro's Engersoll piano (serial #12487,Nov 1909)for just a few years and would like a matching bench to complete the set.  Where could I start looking? It is still played and in fine shape for it's age. I was also wondering what it might be worth to an antique dealer.

Answer
Hi,



Thank you for using allexperts.

Here are several websites you could try looking on for a bench:
 
http://www.pianomart.com
http://www.ebay.com
http://www.pianoworld.com/exchange.htm
http://www.craigslist.org
 

In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate the value of your piano to be at around $300-500.

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

Sincerely,

Lindeblad Piano
