Can anyone distinguish from the picture who this piano is made by? Approximate age? And/or value?
This piano sits in a house where the people left but I know who it belongs to and wanted to approach them to maybe purchase it but I have no idea what it would be worth in its current state. I don't know much about pianos so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

On ,my screen your link isn't active. Sometimes just hit modify above your post and bump the link over a space or two and when you save it will be active.

Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.

This instrument has no value at all because someone decided to paint it white.

If you think it's is expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.

If you can't view the image, then just copy it into your browser.
I am not looking at flipping this piano as my sister-in-law would like a decent piano. I would refinish it but don't know what the max offer should be bc I have no idea on make or date. The piano I believe was manufactured white as you will notice the gold trim which is included on the sides as well. It would take a professional to paint it like that.

White pianos are passé in the market at the present time. This instrument would not sell for any amount. I would presume this instrument has no financial value.
When finishing instruments in solid colours at the factory usually veneer ends and mix- matched veneers are used because the solid colouring hides all of those defects in the wood grain.
This might be discovered upon refinishing.
Hire a technician to inspect the instrument for you previous to making any decisions regarding purchase.
If this has been left behind following a move, the primary reason this is done is because the instrument is worthless and would cost excessive amounts of funding to repair.
