TBH We won't really be able to tell you what the piano is worth, for that you would be best to get a tuner to value it for you. I will post back with some more info when I return from work later this evening (all being well).

There's another thread on W Hoffman here.

There are several varients of Hoffman and as far as I'm aware W Hoffman pianos were usually grand pianos. Player pianos oftern came in the upright variety but there were grands too, though I haven't come accross many who's player mechanisms are in good working order these days.

As Chris has pointed out there were several Hoffman makes However the W. Hoffman Piano is made in Germany and is a high quality piano the others are
just are just cheep end stuff

W. Hoffman are still being made and get good reviews see http://www.uk-piano.org/piano-forums/vi ... ht=hoffman

As to its value the are too many things to consider you need to see your local tuner However, I would visit this page
http://www.uk-piano.org/piano_pages.html on our site there are many links to Pianola sites who will have more information on the Pianola side of your piano
