Description I am trying to determine the date of manufacture and value of this piano. Notes on condition: Needs to be tuned, however for the most part it sounds excellent (just a few keys sound a little off). In great shape, needs only a little cosmetic work on bottom of cabinet where the outer layer of wood is showing wear. Will gladly post pictures, or email if requested. Also available for private viewing to interested parties.
