Colby & Duncan upright grand piano. New York. How old and value?

It is an upright grand with ivory keys. Can't find any info online about Colby & Duncan. Thanks for any help or website links.


Colby & Duncan went out of business on Sept 9th, 1887. , Value depends on market. When they went out of business that had 1155 pianos in stock. It was said they went out of business because more of their capital was on paper than in the bank.

Pianos roll in as NVC readies new Performing Arts Center

Back to school for Napa Valley College is coming Aug. 12, but even this early end to summer for many is bringing with it unprecedented good things: That day also marks the opening of a new Performing Arts Center, which will not only transform the way theater and music and dance are taught on the campus but the entertainment offered to the surrounding community.

A sneak peak preview tour last week revealed a dazzler of a 500-seat performance hall, along with a smaller black box theater, as well as state-of-the-art classrooms — and for the first time the NVC costume designer Jan Molen has an actual workroom, replacing the closet-sized space where she has worked for years.

ā€œI’ve died and gone to heaven,ā€ said Mike Barney, the theater’s technical director as he showed the system of fly lifts for sets in the new theater. ā€œBefore, I could tell students about these systems; now they will be learning onĀ  them. And the more skills they have, the more marketable they will be.ā€
