INTERNATIONAL REGISTRY OF PIANO BRAND NAMES

Brand Names Used Since 1980

In 1980, there were about 80 brand names on the new piano market! There were also thousands of discontinued brand names on the used piano market! To add to the confusion, brand names change hands. A manufacturer may purchase the name, and then produce a piano which is of lower or higher quality than that which the brand name originally implied. You should investigate the history of the brand name to learn of such changes.

At least a dozen manufacturers make professional quality pianos, having the finest mechanism inside a limited selection of the finest furniture. Other manufacturers may stress external appearance at the expense of mechanical quality by offering a larger selection of fancy furniture styles. The public, by its purchases, decide what types are the most desirable.

Appraised value is based on the age, condition, size, grade and rarity of the piano. Value greatly depends on condition and the make of the piano. These values are stated in U.S. Dollars based on local market values from several sources. Comparisons of pianos of this age, condition and nature offered for sale in newspapers and the internet by private parties, music stores,  auction houses, and piano teachers. Most appraisers have some wholesale and retail sales experience buying, selling, trading new and used pianos. The Appraiser must have knowledge of the local market area. No two markets or conditions are the same. Piano teachers and piano tuners are not qualified piano appraisers without the certification.
