Then again, there are cases where a piano might be in such a great condition, it can sell for more than you’d immediately expect. For example, a retailer like Vincitore (Hudson Valley Piano Center) is selling a working upright Kimball piano from 1981 (and featuring Harmi-Tone action) for just under $1,000. Keep in mind, too, that if a piano has been kept in immaculate condition, or perhaps if the instrument has undergone a piano restoration, the value of the piano can increase significantly.īut, of course, these pries are just an average. Kimball upright pianos (and Kimball spinets) typically sell for between $500 and $1,500 on average. So in today’s market, some Kimball baby grand pianos are selling for anywhere between $500 and $3,000. Let’s begin by outlining the rough estimate of what a Kimball piano is worth, and then after that, we can work backwards a bit by helping you understand the basis behind the piano’s estimated value.

I am aware that Kimball primarily built furniture. The article said they built these commerative piano's with a higher level of quality then previously used. I did some research and read that Kimball used this event to promote better quality associated with Kimball's name. The model # is 5250, serial number t23694 Is anyone familiar with a Kimball's commerative piano like this? I am a little familiar with Kimball piano's and bought it because they do not demand a bigger price as a higher quality name piano. I did not buy or pay extra money for the piano because of this certificate. They indicated the piano may have actually been used in Los Angeles at the opening and closing ceremonies. The seller also had a large photo of the placement of the 20+ piano's in the stadium.

It further says the piano was made to commerate Kimball's participation in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics. The seller had a certificate, and there is a plaque inside the piano that says the piano was commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic Organization committee. I bought a used Kimball Baby Grand in the Chicago area a couple years ago.
