Question
My aunt-in-law has a lovely Ennis & Co piano. She said it was made in 1868. Its a fair condition, needing some work done mostly on the keys. The body is a solid wood, although I'm not sure what kind, and needs some work as well. Nothing major from what I can tell. If she were to sell it as is, not being able to afford to restore it, what could she sell this piano for?

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for contacting us. In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate your piano to be valued at around $300-500. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
