You have give us everything but the serial number which is on the sound board you will need to take off the bottom panel see the Eavestaff history page to were I mean

As to value the usual applies plus you don’t even put you location in for all we know you could live in Tim-buck-too and the price for a piano in Tim-buck-too would be a lot different than were I live or were you live.

The serial number will help us to determine the piano's age and from that, we may be able to give you an idea of what the piano might be worth.

Have a look at http://www.uk-piano.org/history/eavestaff.html click on the 3rd photo and you should see that from the 3rd photo in the sequence you should be able to locate the correct serial number which is on the sound board.

Hi Mark123

If its an Eavestaff piano I would expect the serial number to be six figure number.

With all good wishes

Chris.

Hi

There is a 0 in front, so the serial number is 011292.
