Condition
Very good, particularly considering age and use with signs of minor wear. All keys are intact and working. Technician review states there have been repairs to the soundboard that are not causing problems now or for the near future. There is also a crack at the top of the left leg which does not affect the structural integrity. There is a dark spot on top of the lid, as well as a few scratches. There are several areas of missing veneer. There is a missing nail that attaches part of the trim. Professional tuning recommended after moving. See photos for more condition details.
