This piano has a lot of potential value because the rosewood veneer is salvageable the piano has all its original parts, and has potential for being a marvelous musical instrument. This is a vintage piano in un-playable condition. To illustrate this topic I will use the example of a Steinway rosewood A with flower pot legs, cut out music rack, and original ivory keys. Vintage pianos: Potential value versus realization of potential. However, a straight legged Steinway from the 1940’s would also be considered a vintage piano, albeit of lesser value, solely for the potential beauty of the sound and simple elegance of the case. Examples of this would be a Louis XV case, or a Centennial D with serpentine legs, original ivories, and a cut out music rack. This is especially true if the piano has a unique case. The value of the vintage piano is enhanced by the retention of the original case parts and ivory keys. The vintage piano is valuable primarily because it’s potential for beautiful sound and appearance, and secondarily because of the name Steinway. What is the difference? The answer is simply quality and value.
