Found this piano need some help

Post by madhatter »

I have been given this piano and I wonder if anyone can give me some advice as to what it is worth; if it is worth trying to sell off or just scraped?

It is small and is by maker Boyd London it has Schwander printed inside.

It seems in pretty good condition all the keys pay ok.

I hope the photos help.

See my comments on the advice section.
Insides look OK.... but exterior is NOT in good condition, and regrettably pianos like these are very out-dated and not popular - so you have to practically give them away.
Drop actions are ok if all working - but if problems occur, call a surgeon!

Can't value pianos here - needs an inspection by a piano tuner.
Have a look on Ebay - put a starting bid on for less than £50, and see what happens.... this piano will "speak for itself"...... hope that helps...
