"A BARGAIN IS NOT ALWAYS NECESSARILY A BARGAIN"


With the popularity of Craig's List and Ebay,  many consumers are enticed by inexpensive player pianos listed on such web sites.

Most player pianos are 85 to 100 years old - and just like a house or a car, materials wear out with age. There are approximately 100 bellows and pneumatics in a player piano.  It is very unlikely that a well functioning and restored player piano would be offered for several hundred dollars.

Often the seller will state that the piano isn't working due to a missing hose... which could be true... but in most cases is not.

It is best to hire a professional to evaluate the system before purchasing and spending $200-$300 moving the piano to your home.
