Thank you for helping me to find someone interested in buying a piano.


Get it appraised to determine its value. Also ask Steinway & Sons what value they might put on it. If it was ever sold to (or used by) someone famous, that could increase its value.

As for selling it, you can advertise in the...

A 19th-Century Piano Is So Square, It's Cool

Mr. Lieberman, a professor of history at LaGuardia and director of the La Guardia and Wagner Archives , said it had an interesting history: It survived the Civil War in Kentucky, hidden in a barn where it was not burned as troops crisscrossed the area. The family legend was that someone played “Dixie” when Confederates were within earshot. It is not known whether the same pianist struck up “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” when Union soldiers were around.

It was appropriate for the subject under discussion, which was how business classes at LaGuardia had studied Steinway & Sons to compare modern-day business methods with those of the past. Though the company’s factory in Astoria, Queens, is less than four miles from LaGuardia, the students did not have to go beyond the college’s main building, on Thomson Avenue in Long Island City. Steinway donated its old files to the La Guardia and Wagner Archives beginning about 25 years ago.

Rosalie Barnett, a lecturer, said her students had created a database using employee Steinway records from 1900 to 1959, when information was entered by hand. Andrea Francis, an instructor, had her students take Steinway’s financial statements from 1908 and create an Excel spreadsheet. She said the challenge was figuring out how to classify financial information from the old balance sheets according to modern accounting principles.
