Is Hardman piano any good?
on: September 08, 2004, 07:13:05 AM
Hi,

I recently saw a baby grand,  made by Hardman, Peck & Co (serial number ~ 110800) for sale for about $1,600.  I was told it was built around 1930-1935.  It looks very much like a picture of an Eavestaff grand I found on the Internet.  It seems to be in good condition with some rebuilt parts.  Does anyone know if this is a good piano?  Is it worth $1,600?

Thanks!

Eileen

Never heard of it.  But that doesn't mean it's bad, it just means that I've never heard of it.  Someone else will have to help you out.  Sorry!
