The Steinway semi-concert grand piano model "B," (6’11”) serial #287064 represents one of the best and rarest examples of instruments made by Steinway in its Astoria, Queens, New York factory. The restoration is of the highest quality. The piano is in excellent shape and magnificently regulated. The tuning stability is great. The sustaining tone of the piano is of unsurpassed beauty. The trap work and pedal mechanism is also in top condition. The finish of the cabinet and overall appearance is excellent. For me, as an Appraiser, this piano exceeds its market value and I am absolutely confident in appraising its rare value as a musical instrument at $90,000.00  Sincerely, Alex Volchonok, concert piano technician, lecturer, master-rebuilder, appraiser.[Shipping at cost based on location of buyer.
