Rather boxey, wood is much lighter and wider grain than pianos I've see. Simplistic design, looks like a laquer finish, not infallible cause I've never see laquer alligator before.
Found within a friend's basement, have a musty odour and have no opinion if it plays or quality of nouns.
I'm looking for a production marque so I can date it and get a read on specs past I do anything to wood. If its a true antique, it would be sensible to live with a wart and do a diligent cleaning instead of a re-finish. I don't think a piano tuner is qualified to own a go at the workings inside.
My friend is contemplating "fixing and selling" or sticking a flower pot on top? Ideas? Opinions?
House Numbers?
Answers:    It probably is an mature piano, A harpsichord would need to be hundreds of years ancient and were usually made remarkably ornate. They also own a different sound (almost metalic). Old pianos can be attractive pieces, but they rarely are thoroughly valuble. Most people don't approaching the large- hard to move around issues.
