Steve: You are saying that one can get more by way of trade-in than by private sales. I think that might not be incorrect but it probably has to be qualified.On a trade-in, it really is not what you get on your trade-in that counts but what the net cost i.e. Cost of the piano being purchased minus the allowance for a trade-in that counts.

The reason is not clear, but most with the Covenant Eyes issue are reporting that it is working perfectly for them. Gmail not loading in chrome 2018. A few users without the Covenant Eyes issue have reported that the registry edit worked for them as well.

The dealer could give you a delicious trade-in allowance (compared to private sale price or even a fair price)but if he sells your the new piano at close to full list.I think a consumer has more leverage in negotiation without the encumbrance of a trade-in.IOW, selling your piano privately and then negotiating the new piano separately might yield a better deal. Of course, to sell it privately increases the hassle factor.so it depends a lot on your personal modus operandi!!!GCRe: Baldwin Acrosonic Console value05/04/05 04:02 PM 05/04/05 04:02 PMJoined: May 2001Posts: 10,978.

Baldwin Acrosonic Piano Weight

Furniture is unblemished. Piano gets tuned on average every 3 years. Lives in dry climate. Action just like day 1. Only thing missing is the bench and those 2 little knobs on the keyboard lid.What a wonderful invention in terms of longevity.

Mikhailoh:Question 1: Is Rockitman a piano technician and, if not, is he speaking with some technical knowledge when he says the piano is in very good condition?Question 2: Is tuning a piano (only) once every 3 years tantamount to abuse, or just neglect?Question 3: Have the knobs on the keyboard lid been lost because the piano 'lives in a dry climate'? What, in the meantime, has happened to the rest of the piano in this dry climate?This piano may very well be in very good condition; I'm not saying it isn't. I just want to be sure that Rockitman isn't like one of those benighted individuals who says 'Oh, yes, it's been sitting in my basement (attic, garage, wherever!) for years and it's never been played, so it's just like new.' Before a price can be put on it, some professional - for lack of a better word - examination of the piano should take place.Regards. I service hundreds of Acros dating from the late 1930's to the 1990's. It is not uncommon that after a year's worth of use and season change to find them in excellent tuning.

Of course this varies depending on stable enviorns. I also call the customer after a year and hear 'still sounds pretty good, call me next time.' After 2 or 3 years of this they usually get guilty and have me out. The Acros are still up to pitch and not perfect, not more than 40 minutes of work from it. It is by no means neglect nor is Rockitman's claim not credible.True enough people look at their pianos/cars/houses/spouses with rose colored glasses and perhaps the finish is a bit rougher than he thinks, hammers might need surfacing, a few buzzing bass strings than he's heard so long that he dosen't notice them, and maybe there is a fine crack or two in the board. Only the tech knows for sure.Re: Baldwin Acrosonic Console value05/06/05 08:49 AM 05/06/05 08:49 AMJoined: Dec 2004Posts: 284. Yes, by no means does my 'very good condition' have any technical backing behind it.

I am simply an owner who has been very lucky with this piano.As Sam has said, every tuner who has ever tuned it always remarks about how well its pitch is for not having been tuned in 3 years. They don't spend an hour on it either to get it up to snuff.But a fine crack or two in the soundboard? Bite you tongue Sam Casey!The only reason I wish to part with it is to upgrade to a piano with an action that is more controllable. The Baldwin is superlight and PP playing is tough.Re: Baldwin Acrosonic Console value05/06/05 09:09 AM 05/06/05 09:09 AMJoined: Jul 2004Posts: 4,288.
