1915 Apollo Reproducing Piano
on: February 06, 2012, 11:03:00 PM
Hey Guys, quick question. I have recently come into possession of a 1915 Apollo Reproducing Baby Grand. I do not have room for it and looking to sell. The only problem is that I do not know a lot about early 20th century pianos and can not find much help online. I am wondering if anyone on here could give me a rough estimate on how much you think it is worth. The piano is in pretty good shape for its age. It does have a few cosmetic damages on the lid but it is playable (just needs tuning). Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Also here are a few pictures if anyone is interested. Right now I'm trying to decide if it would be worth refurbishing.

It might help if people knew where in the world the piano is!

A piano tech will be able to take a detailed look at the condition of the piano, and tell you what is working and what needs to be fixed.  From there you will have a better idea of how much it is worth. 

Educated buyers will also request that their own tech look over the piano as well, before they make an offer on it.
