How much should i sell a Kawai GE1 baby grand piano for?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how much I should sell my Kawai GE1 for. I think it's a baby grand piano and I'm not sure of the year. But the piano is still in perfect condition and it looks brand new. Also, is there any way to figure out what year it is? I've looked all over but i can't find it.
Thanks very much

Answer 1

The serial number will help you in finding its age. Just read it out to somebody (like me) who has access to the Pierce Piano Atlas, and you'll have the exact year of build just like that. In fact if you message me the number I'd be happy to look it up for you.



The 5'1" GE1 was discontinued in 2002. At the time, the High Polish Black model retailed for about $14,700 US. It's retail value now would be around $6000 to $7000 in perfect condition.



Yes, its size definitely qualifies it as a baby grand.

It is a little difficult to answer this question because you are leaving out a lot of relevant information, but I'll try. Why is it unacceptable to continue playing this piano? Is the action of the keys too hard/soft? Does it just not sound impressive? Will your neighbors care? Assuming it is a key action problem, this problem can easily be rectified by making a call to your local piano technician. These wonderful people can adjust the action to your liking, as well as "re-voice" the piano. However, this process is quite tedious, as each individual key must be balanced according to taste. But, it will be a lot cheaper than purchasing a new piano. If you do decide to purchase a grand piano, don't be afraid to shop for value. A good piano technician will work with you, determine your preferences, and probably have you come in to the store a few times to make sure the piano you purchase is adjusted to your liking. As for deciding between a baby or a conservatory, keep in mind that a baby grand will still sound "muddy." Play an octave on a baby grand, then play an octave on a slightly larger grand, and you can hear the difference in clarity. You may just find out that a 5-foot baby grand sounds just like your Yamaha upright. Good luck to you.

It all depends on what you like. My experience is that Yamaha has an easier touch, but Kawai has a better sound. Better yet, go for Steinway!!! The best pianos I have ever played. They combine good action with rich sounds. Obviously a grand piano has a better distribution of sound, but if you get a good quality upright, that is acceptable if you have space limitations.
