Question
I have a piano that is in excellent condition on the outside. It has the wood and co. Edinburgh  stamp under the cover with the seral number 3354. It also has a signature that i cant read, with the date 1888.Is this worth having work done too on the inside? Thanks
 Jack

Answer
Hi,



Thank you for using allexperts.

Yes it is worth having work done to it, especially if it has any sentimental value to you. Older piano that are restored will have a rich quality sound that should last. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
