Step 1: Assess the value of your piano

  • Look for the current new price: Piano prices are changing. Check the prices of similar models on the market today to adjust your used price realistically.
  • Consider the general condition: Signs of wear and tear, mechanical or cosmetic problems can reduce the value. In general, a used piano in very good condition sells for around 60-70% of its new value.
  • Step 2: Prepare your piano for sale

    Careful presentation will make your piano more attractive to potential buyers.

  • Thorough cleaning: Dust and clean all surfaces, including keys and furniture. A clean appearance reflects regular maintenance.
  • Tuning: A well-tuned piano shows that it is in good working order. Call in a professional for a recent tuning.
  • Quality photos: Take photos from different angles, in natural light, to show the instrument in full detail.
  • Step 3: Write a detailed and honest advert

    An accurate and transparent description inspires confidence in buyers.

  • Include full details: Include make, model, year of manufacture, dimensions and technical specifications.
  • Mention the current condition: Be transparent about any defects or repairs carried out. Transparency avoids misunderstandings.
  • Add accessories: If you're offering a bench, cover or other accessories, specify this in the advert.
  • Step 4: Answer buyers' questions quickly
