    OK here goes folks.
    My mam has a Clifford Piano (upright) about 50+ years old.( maybe more)
    Now she has decided to buy a new one ( dont know why as no one in the house plays it) but thats a different story.
    Anyway the Paino guy said he would take the old one away and scrap it as he says its not worth anything.
    Now unfortunatley I have no picture of said piano, but its mahogany and in good condition on the outside.No physiacl issues to look at. We were told that the strings, hammers etc were in bad nick and would cost more than its worth to replace.
    So my question's are,
    Can anyone tell me anything about these types of Piano's.
    Are they well known? Do they value with time? Or do most pianos's just get old and shabby and end up on a landfill somewhere.
    Sorry if its all a bit vague, but I am far from musical, and not too sure where to look for more on this.
    Thanks for reading this far
    Chef.

    Is it in tune? If so it might well suit a beginner or a child. I bought an old piano 18 months ago for €70 and got a guy to look at it. He reckoned it'd be worth €700/€800 if I got a few things done to it. I never bothered as it plays and is in tune (one or two keys excepted).

    It might be worth advertising it on www.adverts.ie - someone might pay a few quid for it. You've nothing to loose.

    I did a quick search for Clifford Piano's and it revealed nothing. This would lead me to believe that this make is not one that ever caught on and was probably a generic Chinese built piano that was branded by many different companies. Probably not worth much but get a second opinion just to confirm.
