Antique Pianos/Schumacher Goldstring

Question
My piano is an Schumacher Goldstring upright that was manufactured in April, 1878. It needs some work and I was wondering if it is worth restoring. I would love to have more information on this piano. I live in Houston, Texas and could you could refer me to someone in my area? Could you give me an estimated value of the piano and restoration cost? Thanks so much!

Answer
Hi Sarah,

Thank you for contacting us. If the piano has sentimental value to you and your family it would be worth restoring but not for monetary purposes. To give you an idea of the cost of restoration we would need further information about what needs to be done to the piano to meet your expectations. Please, feel free to contact us at 888-587-4266 and ask for Dave. We would be happy to discuss the piano and any questions you my have.

Sincerely,
Robert Parker
