Hello MMD,  Several years ago I acquired a Duo-Art upright.  It's just
sitting around collecting dust and taking up space.  It needs a new
home with somebody that can appreciate and care for it better than I.

In my opinion it's in very good condition although there is a problem
that is mentioned later.  Everything seems to work (it's been over two
years since it's been played) and sounds great.  It appears to have
been re-tubed shortly before I came to own it and I believe the pump is
not the original style.  I think the case has been refinished as well.

There are also several boxes of rolls that could be negotiated to sell
with the piano.  The number of rolls and titles are not available at
this time but will be available when I get closer to selling it.
Offhand I would hazard a guess of maybe two hundred rolls.

The only problem with it that I'm aware of is that when it kicks into
rewind it intermittently destroys the roll.  I'm not sure what causes
that but it may have something to do with the tracking possibly not
working or maybe the roll itself.  I have been out of touch with the
player piano world so my questions to MMD is how do I determine a fair
price?  What criteria needs to be stated to best describe the piano?

Should the rewind be fixed before selling it (I really don't want to
deal with it as I don't have time)?  Should it be tuned before hand
as well?  And where and how do I post an add?  Any comments/ideas are
appreciated.
