An inspection includes an examination of your piano and a discussion of what we find. Generally, you will have specific points of interest, such as value, condition, or services that can help achieve your goals for the instrument. Any change you are considering may warrant the investment in our professional opinion. We charge an hour's fee for this service ($150).

An appraisal starts with an inspection that then informs a document on our letterhead recording the relevant opinion, say resale value or insurance value or suggestions for what the piano might need. This may involve some research. We charge an additional hour for this service (total $300).
