Piano Trader Page

The OLDPIANOS.COM Antique Piano Trader Page!


Looking to sell a used piano? Looking for that special used piano to buy?

This is the place!


As of 1/13/06, I have cleared out all of the listings, because people list their pianos here, and then never contact me when it sells.  From now on, piano listings here will only be for 6 months.  If you want to extend that, e-mail me.

Please note! This page is a free service to hopefully get piano buyers and sellers together. If you want to list your piano for sale here, or you are looking for something in particular to buy, let me know and I'll get it listed.

PLEASE NOTE! I have no financial stake in anything listed here, and I have no first hand information on anything listed here. I do not advise or set prices on listings. Please e-mail any questions directly to the person making the listing. 

Also, before spending a lot of money on an old piano, I suggest you have the instrument checked out by a piano technician. You can find a local registered technician by searching (by zip code) at The Piano Technicians Guild website at www.ptg.org

IMPORTANT FRAUD ALERT: MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE BUYING OR SELLING A PIANO.  I HAVE RECEIVED TWO NOTICES FROM SELLERS LISTED HERE ABOUT BEING CONTACTED BY SOMEONE OFFERING TO PURCHASE A PIANO LISTED, AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A SCAM.

If someone e-mails you and offers to buy your piano (or any item you have for sale, for that matter...) and offers to send you more money than the selling price, BEWARE.  This is a known scam.  In fact, click HERE for an actual e-mail that someone selling their piano here received!

See http://snopes.com/crime/fraud/cashier.asp for details.  

Finally, please note that I do accept donations via PayPal for the courtesy of listing a piano here. Visit www.paypal.com and send your donation to me at greg@oldpianos.com.  Many thanks!

There are many fine piano restorers that would love to have the starting condition of this fine instrument. This instrument was on display in the Alabama State House for many years, and was sold through sale after a state renovation and expansion of the building. The rosewood case is simply remarkable, and the internal conditions of its working parts have been evaluated by a RPT of the Piano Technicians Guild as absolutely incredible.
