Upright piano (not authenticated)

This upright piano features a rich, dark brown wood veneer finish with visible grain patterns and traditional cabinetry styling. The top lid is open, revealing an interior iron plate and tuning pins, with a prominent decorative gold and black crest logo on the inner panel displaying the text 'SINCE 1856' and 'WURLITZER'. Additional matching text branding is visible on the interior metallic harp area. The front includes a hinged music desk with decorative fretwork or grille cutouts, a fallboard covering the keys, and a lower panel design featuring vertical stylistic carvings above three brass pedals. There are minor cosmetic surface wear issues, including scuffs and scratches particularly along the key cover and front edges, consistent with age and regular domestic use. The legs exhibit classical tapered detailing with brass-tone ferrules at the top corners. The attribution in the name rests directly on the visible logo and branding present on the interior cabinetry elements, though the item remains unverified physically.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this upright piano bears branding elements and a crest logo consistent with the Wurlitzer name, including the text 'SINCE 1856' on the interior panel. However, I cannot verify the true identity, internal mechanical condition, or age from a photograph alone. The cabinetry features a dark brown wood veneer finish with traditional styling, a hinged music desk with decorative fretwork, and classical tapered legs with brass-tone ferrules. I also observe minor cosmetic surface wear, such as scuffs and scratches along the front edges and key cover, which are typical for domestic use. Assuming the attribution to Wurlitzer is correct, upright pianos of this general type and era typically trade in the $400 to $800 range in the secondary market, heavily dependent on the functional state of the soundboard, pinblock, and action mechanics. Demand for traditional acoustic upright pianos has softened generally as digital alternatives have grown in popularity. Physical inspection by a qualified piano technician would be required to evaluate playability and confirm the internal components. If physical inspection reveals that the piano is a generic manufacture, a replica, or lacks the working internal mechanics associated with the brand, the value would likely drop to a nominal or disposal level, typically $0 to $150, as moving costs often exceed the resale value of unplayable acoustic uprights.
