Montgomery, Chester meet) BUYER SHOULD BRING DOLLY AND PLENTY OF MANPOWER! Four husky men could do it. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY at my home in Southeastern Pennsylvania(Chester County near where Berks. All 3 pedals also seem to work as intended. And even if not actually played, would be wonderful as a prop in a theatrical production. more a substantial sum of money, you would have to subject it to harsh environmental conditions to deliberately cause it to deteriorate to achieve that"old-time" sound. Obviously, to achieve this effect on a modern acoustic piano, worth. This piano would be ideally suited for a theatrical playhouse to replicate the effects of a rinkytink-sounding instrument in a saloon in the old west or the honkytonk of the 1920s. Buyer would need technical service on the keys and action plus it will need tuning. See photographs) Height is about 54" There are 5 keys that do not make any sound. I am 64 years old, and I remember this piano as always being in my grandparents old farmhouse, where it resides still today. From our research, due to the clean and simple lines, it looks like it is from the 1920's or so. Was purchased by my grandfather in the early part of the last century. This piano from Becker Brothers of New York. I would love to see it go to a good home! LOCAL PICKUP ONLY Based on the condition, the age, size and maker this piano would be valued at approximately $550-$750 in a private sale. If you are fairly certain it was from the 1950's then that is all I need to come up with a value. This probably means either the records for later dates are not available or you may have the wrong number. I did check their serial records but the number you provided is beyond what they have listed. I just had an appraisal done by a Piano Expert and this is what he had to say. This upright would make a great restoration project.
Missing 2 pieces of veneer as shown in the photos, but no other damage. I hate to sell it because it has so many memories, but. It only gets played on the Holidays and neither one of my kids want to take lessons, so my wife wants it out of the living room. Checked out and tuned by Stanley Lawruk"Stan the Piano Man" and it has held a pretty good tune since.
It has been in the same house since 2005 when I brought it to my home. This Jacobs Brothers Philadelphia Upright Piano was bought by my grandfather direct from Jacobs Brothers in Philadelphia in the early 50's.
