![]() ![]() In the piano world, the data just doesn’t exist. So, whether you sell your car to a friend or buy it from a dealer, the amount of the purchase of that exact car, year, color, model, etc, is all recorded. Same concept holds true for anything with a title. That information is recorded when the car is titled and states sell that information to companies like Edmunds and Kelley. True blue book values are based on how much something – like a car – is sold for. The problem with these sites is that, unlike with automobiles, boats, motorcycles, and homes, pianos do not have titles that have to be registered. These same sites offer to appraise pianos online, which is weird, because it’s impossible to calculate the value of a piano without, well, actually seeing it. These factors have given rise to online services that will charge you to tell you how much you should pay for a piano. Big cities and big companies have to charge more because they have higher rent and other expenses. We are a family run business with very low overhead costs. Because local market forces have a huge influence on piano prices, it is common to expect to pay more for a piano in Los Angeles, New York, or Miami than you would at a store like ours. It can be a challenge to determine if you’re paying a fair price for a piano.
