If we buy a piano, unfortunately we can not pay the full market value. However we can pay a fair price, pay in cash and remove the piano quickly and carefully.
We are usually looking for the following types of pianos.
Steinway or Mason and Hamlin Grands or Consoles
Most Types of Baby Grands (1880 - 1960)
Consoles, studio uprights & Spinets (1930 - 2000)
We do not buy older (large) uprights or square grands.
Appraisals
Our many years of experience, as well as our familiarity with various current markets within the eastern United States, allow us to give extremely accurate appraisals for insurance purposes or if you are trying to sell your piano.
However, we would suggest that very rare old pianos in original condition or pianos with a specific or significant historical past be appraised by qualified antique appraisers. Our expertise is evaluating pianos in the context of their marketability as a musical instrument only.
Appraisal Cost: $80.00 in Mecklenburg County (appraisal only) or $25.00 when performed with any other on-site service by CPS.
Add $40.00 for Adjoining Counties
Or Add $3.00 Per Mile From Mecklenburg County Line (One Way)
for any distance to your piano.
Estimates
We charge $60.00 for an on-site estimate in Mecklenburg County. Additional charges for estimates outside Mecklenburg County are the same as listed above. However, these charges apply toward any service performed or arranged for at the time the estimate is given.
