During this phone call you can also ask what sort of ballpark price they might be willing to purchase or consign the piano from you at. If you approach your conversation with the store casually and politely, and let them know upfront that you are hoping to sell the piano on the private market and would like to know their opinion of private market value, they will probably give you a fairly honest and accurate answer. If you have a piano that is on the newer side of the equation, call your local piano dealer and ask what they think the piano would be worth on the private market. With newer pianos (20 years and newer) it’s a little more straight forward to determine resale value than with vintage or antique pianos. There are two ways that are most helpful in getting an accurate estimate on piano value, The value of a specific piano model can vary dramatically depending on the condition of the piano, the finish of the piano or even the region of the country that the piano is located. There are several factors that weigh in when trying to determine the resale value of a piano.

I particularly like giving a long attack/decay and spreading the voices across the stereo field. I’m finding myself using the samples way more than I ever used the organ because I can adjust the adsr. There was some noise/hum-reduction applied to the original recordings because this old organ has a hefty background hum but the cassette samples were left with the noise intact except for some light high-pass filtering to limit low end build-up. The tapeloop was physically mangled and played back on a walkman. Each machine has a unique noise character and eq curve, as well as varying degrees of wow/flutter/dropouts. The samples were played back using two different tape machines the Technics (stereo) and a Coby (mono) shoebox tape player. I recorded one note for each voice (“middle” C) to be spread across the keyboard.

Recorded with condenser mics on the front facing tube amp speakers and then onto cassette tape using a Technics RS-TR232 dual deck tape recorder. Nine different voices/combos were sampled giving a variety of tonal qualities to choose from. This is a 1950’s Wurlitzer vacuum tube organ I got for free on Front Porch Forum (Vermont’s Craigslist) processed through two different cassette tape machines and one special sample processed as a crumpled up tapeloop for extra character.
