Hi Mark, I see you are in the USA, like me, but I have learned a lot about pianos from this UK you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGm8Vj99T_E&t=474s.They have an openly published price list, so you can get some idea (£1=$1.30); more importantly you can get a better appreciation of what's involved in maintaining and restoring pianos. Definitely have the piano checked over by a technician you can trust. I wish I could find a US equivalent of this guy, Marcus, from Roberts Pianos.

One of our deceased forum members, Joe Ayala, had a beautiful, Yamaha Baby Grand when he passed. I will contact his widow to see what became of the piano. Joe told me that he had it serviced every year, tuned, cleaned, etc and had this done by a local service technician. He said it was a necessity with all pianos and was somewhat expensive for this service. When I hear something, I will let you know, Gary
