Piano identification

Cousin bought a house with this piano inside. There is no visible inscription but it looks quite old and sounds a bit off. We're from Canada btw

Yes but what brand/model/year?

go to >>/x/ for divination and remote viewing.

yep. definitely a piano.

If there's not a brand name on the front or anywhere on the soundboard/mechanism, then you may be shit out of luck for finding out. But it's probably not worth a ton in any case; uprights rarely are.

this. it looks like it could be 100 years old too. a friend of mine has one like this, all super chunky wooden frame and its from like 1920something.

Would it be better to just scrap it or bring a technician to tune it?

If you like having a piano around, then getting it tuned isn't a bad idea. Most pianos last a long time. Also, someone more familiar with pianos might be able to find out what kind it is (there's got to be a manufacturer's mark SOMEWHERE in there).

here in amerikkka you can find people to move and tune pianos for about 100USD. you just need a tuning and hopefully none of the hammers or strings are bad, pay no more than 100USD equivalent for tuning/maintenance otherwise it's a loss.

KEEP IT AND DO RECORDINGS AS IT IS IN ITS HAUNTED STATE, THEN NORMIEFY IT WITH PROPER TUNING.

I'm not at his house atm but I'll take more detailed pictures tomorrow. Say it's a piano older than 50+ years, does it need more maintenance than a tune?

It has a serial number, there's gotta be a name on it somewhere. If you're not in Europe I highly doubt you have anything valuable.

Depends. There are a lot of things that could go wrong--the hammers might need their felt readjusted and the key action could need repairs. Have you played every key yet? Do any of them feel off? Almost anything is fixable but it might not be fixable for a price worth paying.

I'm not a piano connaisseur but I did play it and so far sounded good but some keys were off, probably because I cant play for shit. Are we talking about +1000$ maintenance?

Something like a cracked soundboard might start running up in hundreds of dollars. I think your best bet is to try to find a piano technician with a reputation for honesty so they can give you clear answers about whether or not it's worth and and how much maintenance it really needs.

Get a tuner app on your phone and make sure all of them are in tune. If the keys are sticky then that's another problem. I doubt you would pay more than 300 for maintenance.

I think I have the same model. I'm also from Canada. But mine has an engraving on it with a brand. brb taking a picture.

i looked at images of upright piano serial numbers to see if any matched the way yours was presented here (set inside that raised rectangle thing). i couldn't find anything that looked similar to it

I'll take a closer look tomorrow. But looking at yours...it looks very similar. Are they valuable? Any good?

i got it for free. tuned by a professional, managed to get it close to 440hz but not perfect tuning
the cost for transporting/moving it is probably more than the piano itself

One final thing to keep in mind, OP, is that even if it's not that good, it may be worth keeping it just because there's an expense associated with disposing of an unwanted piano. Unless it's getting in your way, consider keeping it just so you don't have to go through the hassle of getting rid of it. They make nice decorations even when they're not usable.

You think it's good enough for beginner or am I better off buying a 1k digital piano?
