Age c1932
History see http://www.uk-piano.org/history/chappell/index.html

Main problems with Chappell of that age is the capping on the Bass bridge coming loos I would pay for a tuner to take a good look at the piano Chappells can have a nice treble but if the bridge is on the way out the bass will suck

As to price can’t say with out seeing the piano but I have seen then go for as much as £1500 in shops and as low as £500 all depends on the condition and the retail outlet

Barrie,
