Know exactly what that piano is worth—before you buy, sell, or move it.
“I Wish We’d Known Before We Moved It…”
Not long ago, a couple in West Jordan asked us to tune the piano they’d just bought off Facebook Marketplace for $500. When we arrived, it was immediately clear: cracked pinblock, unstable pitch, and serious rust. They were heartbroken—and now stuck with a piano that couldn’t hold a tune, let alone play Chopin.
That’s why we offer on-site used piano appraisals across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Weber Counties. We’ll meet you at the seller’s home, a storage unit, or even your own living room to help you understand exactly what the piano is worth—and whether it’s worth keeping at all.
What’s Included in a Used Piano Appraisal?
This isn’t just a “quick look.” Our piano appraisals are thorough, honest, and useful—whether you’re buying, selling, insuring, or donating.
Each visit includes:
- External inspection (cabinet, keys, pedals, finish condition)
- Internal mechanism evaluation (action parts, hammers, felts, bushings)
- Tuning stability check (can the piano hold a pitch?)
- String and soundboard assessment (cracks, rust or separation)
- Pedal and damper responsiveness
- Age and brand research (serial number lookup and resale guidance)
- Clear documentation of the piano's value and any major concerns
We’ll also provide a verbal summary on-site, and email you a written estimate for resale, insurance or donation purposes.
When to Book a Piano Appraisal
You’ll want to book an appraisal when:
- You're buying a used piano from a private seller or online listing
- You're selling or donating a piano and need fair market value
- You've inherited a piano and don't know its history
- You're a school or church acquiring a donated instrument
- You’re buying a used piano from a private seller or online listing
- You're planning to move a piano and want to know if it's worth relocating
A $500 appraisal could save you thousands—or help you make a confident, informed decision.
