What is the value of a Knabe brand square grand piano with very intricate painting on the gilded board?

Answer

I am an avid amateur piano player and not an expert. You absolutely have to talk with an appraiser to get any kind of meaningful estimate. What I can offer is that the piano probably doesn't have a great deal of special value as a musical instrument. There may be some historical or antique value. Square grands are not made any more, and this makes sense. They had more appeal before the spread of recorded music, and for people who wanted larger pianos without the inconvenience of the size and shape of a standard grand. The actions in square grands suffer some deficiencies because of necessary compromises in their design.
