specifically what do you want to know?
the SN shows 1921 date.
Have you tuned it this year? If the piano will not hold tune to A=440hz, the value would be 0. However, I would think it would hold 440...but I may not.
Call your local piano technician to check it fully.

Pianos are a very specialised niche market here. Each new house is smaller than the last so now special small furniture had to be produced. There is much less interest in playing music and the introduction of the electronic keyboard has meant for many years hundreds of pianos are broken up for fun or competition purposes. Many people have found it impossible to even give away a piano unless it is a particularly fine instrument or of historic significance.

I suggest you contact several of the specialist dealers listed in the Yellow Pages and supply details of age and condition and maker for a valuation.
The offer or valuation you receive from them (if any) will be quite low and if you want to advertise privately you could safely double or even triple the amount, bearing in mind a piano will be expensive to remove. If you can say you are able to deliver it will make the prospect of buying the instrument infinitely more attractive.

Piano Age Request How Old Is my antique piano when made

There will most likely have the brand molded in the frame, and we will need that in order to help you. it may also be printed on the soundboard.

Possibly.
Depends what you mean by "off".
I know of an electric piano that sat in front of a window that leaked when it rained. Now the piano sounds like the vibrato is running at about 40 cps. It probably needs a new circuit board. But the owner doesn't notice it and he has no audience. "It sounds fine.", he tells me.
On the other hand, you may just have a lose part that physically vibrates inside somewhere when you play notes that resonate with it. It's hard to say without hearing it.

The Previa key construction was a lot better than yamaha\'s, however it still suffered the normal casualties caused by even the slightest \'knock\'. Believe it or not, most damages are caused to DPs when you\'re NOT playing it. For example, transporting - setting up - packing down etc. I used to market Roland and Casio DPs for a number of years. And the most common problem was the \'stuck key\' syndrome (as well as dust on the contacts). I bought it down to the way people, children, adults actually SIT down to the piano to play. Instead of using the piano stool to balance themselves, many people place their hands on the KEYBOARD before they plant !!! NO NO NO :/ That is the prime reason there are key breakages in - pretty much the same place. Children are a classic example when they sit at a piano. They use the keyboard to leverage themselves UP. Because the DP is not on, it doesn\'t make a sound - therefore "it can\'t POSSIBLY my child\'s fault!!" Oh yeah...have your darling angel sit at an acoustic piano and they\'ll be playing 12th Street Rag before they even get their on the seat!!!



Long and short, possibly broken band, slipped hammer - or broken. Here\'s a video which explains how you might be able to fix the problem yourself. Not much to it really...just take your time and don\'t force anything

You have to plug in the laptop sorry to say. Think of it as a piano that can be used as a midi controller.

There MAY be a break in the flexible conductors going to the keys... probably not repairable I am afraid.
