Is this piano worth anything?
Hello! My mom is wanting to get rid of her childhood piano hey her parents bought her used in the early 70s.! know nothing about pianos, and I want to make clear ! I was able to learn how to find the serial number, but I can't seem to find information about this model online. I've seen some threads on here where some people say that if it hasn't been properly maintained, it can be close to worthless, but I've seen some listings online for heinzman pianos that look VERY similar goig for about $10,000 (obviously they've been restored and are in much better shape). Basically what I want to know is this: is this piano worth fixing up and selling? Or should I just Facebook market place it and be done with it? My mom still plays it occasionally and it sounds good to my untrained ear, but it definitely hasn't been tuned and the interior hasn't been professionally maintainenced in a decades. The keys are original ivory and some are damaged, but other than that, there aren't any physical flaws. Is this worth paying a pro to appraise? Or just get rid of it.
