Antique Musical Instruments/Year of a Wheelock Baby grand and value

Expert: Todd Lindeblad - 8/5/2010


Question
Hello,

I have a beautiful Wheelock baby grand that belonged to my grandmother. The serial number is 303654. It is in great condition except for a few keys that are losing the top layer of ivory. Can you help me identify the year and approximate value?  I may have to sell this since I live in Canada in a tiny apartment and the piano is in Tennessee.

Thanks,
Edith Sage

Answer
Hi,



Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was manufactured in 1934. 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.
