Understanding how no true valuation can be given until a real inspection takes place, I am hoping someone might give just the broadest of value ranges for an 1886 Kaps Grand Piano.
The piano is painted over black, and a proper restoration of the original walnut surface is going to cost around £2000, and before I commit I want to get a broad idea of what it might later be worth. The frame is mahogany, it tunes fine and plays perfectly well.
The date is arrived at by serial number, which is 10146 - the serials 10000 to 12000 ran 1885-1887, so we can be pretty confident of 1886 as being a sound build year.
Thanks for any advice - I don't expect exacts, but any advice from someone who knows more than zero about it (like me) would be greatly appreciated
