Serial number

In most pianos, the serial number will be a five, six or seven digit number. With grand pianos, completely remove the music desk to find the serial number near the tuning pins. Usually, the model number will be located in the same area. With upright pianos, open the top lid and the serial number should be in plain view near the tuning pins.

Number of steps/stairs up or down to get the piano out of your home *

If you have several sets of non-contiguous steps, for example, 4 steps up inside and 6 steps down outside, you can enter "4 up + 6 down". Also, you can explain the details in the Additional Comments field below.

Photos

Click or drag files to this area to upload. You can upload up to 20 files.

Please take clear, focused, flash photos of the INSIDE of the piano as well the OUTSIDE. With grand pianos, open the lid, remove the music rack and take pictures of the tuning pins, serial number, strings and soundboard area. The more detail, the better. With upright pianos, open the lid and take photos of the tuning pins, the serial number and hammers. Then completely close your piano and take photos of the cabinet from all angles.

If you are unable to upload photos to this form for any reason, you can email them separately to [email protected]

Additional comments

If you need a certified appraisal for legal purposes such as insurance claims, estate sales, divorce settlements, or tax deductions for charitable donations, we recommend hiring a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) with the Piano Technicians Guild to perform an onsite inspection and appraisal.
