Crown Cabinet Grand

Post by Sabrina »

New Over Strung Scale Full Iron Frame Patent
No 392737 Nov 13 1888
Crown Piano Geo P Bent
Manufacture Chicago ILL
I purchached this piano from a Charity Sale about 2 years ago. I had always wanted a piano since I was a little girl. However, now as an adult that doesn't even know how to play and is in a rent house, it has proven to be logistically difficult to own. I need to sell it, I know absoutely nothing about it other than it is beautiful and has a lot of character. The charity sale I bought it from said that it had been in someone's family for years and that having 4 pedals instead of 3 made it more unique. I was sent home with a number to contact the orginal owner, however I have lost it. It didn't matter because I didn't think I would have to sell it. Not the case, I am having to move from a rent house into an apartment for a while and desperately need the money. If anyone can help me figure out anything on it and what the asking price should be, I would greatly apprecaite it. I am clueless about how to get the pictures in this post, but I do have some. Anyone's help would be so appreciated, I am a single mom and need to sell the piano asap. Thank you so much in advance.

No-one anywhere will give you a valid, unconditional valuation without on-the-spot inspection.

Hi there, Sabrina.

Were you able to find an approximate value for this piano? I have clients who lost their home in the fire and can't seem to find a value of this piano but they seem to think that it is highly valued. Any help/resources is greatly appreciated.

This is an old post, nearly 7 years old!
Unless you email the person concerned, I doubt you will get an answer.

I have tried that, but haven't seen an answer yet, it is quite possible the email address is out of date after all this time.
