No-one can answer questions like that without seeing it.

Hello all, Does anyone know anything about H.D. Bentley of Chicago? The serial number 13981. Is this piano worth anything? It was given to me and I don't know much about them. Needs tuning and should be refinished and some minor repairs needed. Is it worth keeping or is it a piece of junk? Need help..
Thank all.

The number suggests something before 1895. We don't see this make over here.
