VALUING A PIANO
A piano is not merely a piece of furniture. Its main value lies in its mechanism, which is understood by few besides piano technicians. Used pianos ipay have defects undetected by the seller, the salesman, or the purchaser. Borer may be present but not noticeable on casual. inspection. The plank may be strained or the fi'ame cracked —conditions that give rise to serious tuning troubles. The sound-board may be sunken, and this produces poor tone. Again the action may be worn beyond repair, or hopelessly out-of-date and Incapable of improvement. Purchasers of pianos can, however, protect themselves by buying reconditioned instruments from Begg’s— Piano specialists for over 82 years. Begg’s buy used pianos of all makes, and thoroughly recondition them before re-selling. Begg's prices are fair to both buyer and seller.
Owners of pianos that are no longer required are urged to make them available through Begg’s service for the purposes of musical education, Begg’s pay best cash prices based on today's values, and will lie glad to receive offers of instruments lot sale at owner’s fixed price, or to give their own valuation on any piano.—Advt
