Ello Piano Service offers the following types of piano appraisal service:
Comprehensive Piano Appraisal - An onsite inspection of the piano is performed. An appraisal form is completed which lists the important parts of the piano and their current condition. These parts are rated as excellent, very good, good, fair, poor, or not worth repair. A market value and replacement value is then recorded on the form. These appraisals are often completed to obtain an insurance replacement value. They are also commonly performed for a buyer or seller of a piano to confirm a true market value.
Verbal Piano Appraisal - An onsite inspection of the piano is performed to ascertain a general sense of the market value of a piano for a buyer or seller without using a detailed appraisal form.
It is not possible to obtain an accurate appraisal without a professional piano technician examining the piano in person at location. Internet generated appraisals are highly problematic and unreliable.
