We have an Apollo baby grand piano; serial #61068, we think around the 1930's made out mahogany with ivory keys that would need work. How does one go about determining the value of this and then go about selling this item.

Hi Guest,

Here is a link to a blog that contains links to sites that offer corresponding dates for serial numbers. I'm sure there are a couple that will help you find what you are looking for.

Though some sites offer to find the value, I would recommend having a professional give it a visual inspection. It's the only way to get a proper value, since all factors are taken into account. (Maker, age, condition, etc.)

As for selling it, there are online classified sites, both free and for a fee, and if you enter "piano magazines" into your favorite search engine you will discover there are a variety of magazines and they might have more to offer in the way of advice for selling.

I do know, however, that some retailers offer consignment. If this is a preferable option, then contact your local piano retailers and see who has the best offer.

Best wishes,
