    I'm hoping that someone here may be able to help me. I've been offered a Collard & Collard Baby Grand Piano (1930 OR earlier). Perfect Condition.

    Does anyone know the value of such an item? I've had a search and can't find much information. As an investment as furniture and instrument I am very interested in purchasing. Asking price I was told at 900Euro. Any advice / info would be great.. thanks!

    I once took a Schiedmyer piano for nothing, thinking it was a good deal. I had it valued. It was valued at 2000 euro, if a new action was fitted. new action was priced at 2000. Lesson learned.

    Thanks or the reply - unfortunately the seller withdrew the piano at the last minute (I think his daughter had a word!) I researched the model number etc - worth approx €4,200 - €5,000. However, there was slight fading of the wood on one side, total polish restoration would have cost €2,000 for overall finish. Ah sure.. not to worry!
