    Adam Shaff upright piano?
    I want to buy an old Adam Schaff upright piano from our Aunt. I don't know what to pay her and make it a fair price. Some of the cabinet has had some mild water damage. It comes with a round stool. I doubt that it has been maintained for years. In getting the serial number, the inside is covered in dust. The serial number is 30754. Can someone give me some sort of an idea as to what to pay her? Also, what year is it? Thanks, rec22

    Hi, rec22!

    Looks like it was built around 1913 or 1914. What is below is quoted from the following site:Piano Name Brands Starting with Letter S, ADAM

    SCHAAF, ADAM Established in 1873

    The home of the famous Adam Schaaf grand, upright and player pianos and reproducing pianos were built at their imposing, and beautiful six story building at 319-321 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago. In addition to a factory at 1020 Central Park Avenue, Chicago, made the Adam Schaaf institution one of the best equipped in the world.

    Adam Schaaf instruments continue to advance time tested by thousands of satisfied, ever enthusiastic owners and customers.

    To make still better the best Adam Schaaf piano has been the aim and the inspiration of the experienced workers in the Adam Schaaf factory as well as the ambition of the gentlemen who direct the company's destinies. How well these aims and ambitions have succeeded is told in the fact that the three fold output has not kept pace with the steadily increasing demand.

    These instruments are the product of a house of the highest responsibility and unlimited credit. Adam Schaaf Reproducing Pianos in Grands and Uprights are very distinguished.

    Serial Numbers effective on January 1, of the year shown.

    1885-3100 1903-14500 1909-24100 1915-35800 1921-56000
    1890-4600 1904-16000 1910-25100 1916-39000 1922-59000
    1895-6580 1905-17800 1911-26200 1917-43000 1923-62000
    1900-10000 1906-19000 1912-28300 1918-47000 1924-65000
    1901-11500 1907-20500 1913-30400 1919-50000 1926-71000
    1902-13000 1908-22000 1914-32600 1920-53000
    Why do you want to buy the piano, please? I've been a piano tuner/technician since 1974 and also am a professional pianist.

    Thanks!
