Description

This Piano has been a great Piano for our family, we decided to look up the manufacturing year and found out we have no idea what year it was made. The Serial Number listed #17014 is not listed in the serial number archive so we are stuck at a dead end. We are planning on selling this piano, however the value is also unsure. It's a very nice and beautiful Spinet Piano. Plays very nice. Any information would truly help. Thank you!
