My great-grandmother (who is 101, soon to be 102) has reached a point that she had to move into assisted living nursing home (this after MANY good years of good health and living alone). So my grandfather is working on cleaning out her house, selling some things, and giving some things to relatives, etc. So anyway, she has a piano. It is a baby grand Wurlitzer, but my grandfather thinks it is a "full-sized grand piano." Whatever. It is probably about 25 years old, and probably hasn't been serviced in about 10 years. The outside of the piano is still in good shape, it's just not a great piano to play (even if it were in tune).
Anyway, my grandfather is trying to sell this piano for $10,000. He cannot be convinced that he will be lucky to get $2500 or $3000 for it. He keeps asking if my school or church or music friends would like to buy a great grand piano that's been played very little for $10,000. And more, he says, Wurlitzer is a "well-known" company. Hahaha. Well-known among musicians in that you don't want to buy their pianos. Anyway, any thoughts on how to convince him otherwise? I was thinking of suggesting that he find a technician to go look at it and give him some advice. I might need to find one for him...neither of us live down in Florida where the piano is though.
