Sir or Madam, I read with interest, your question regarding the price of a 1912 Gabler, upright piano? I too, am looking for not only a price, but the year constructed of a Gabler upright (very good condition) piano I am interested in purchasing. The piano has a light 'walnut' stain, quite a bit of carving on the front (looks like a large wreath w/ 'ribbons' on top and bottom of 'wreath') and on either side of front, carved legs, similar design. I think I am narrowing it down to around 1905-1910(?), but still researching. In the meantime, I did come across an old (archived) advertisement (The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, Feb 18. 1912) with the following link: na0006 5537.html I would recommend copy and paste this address and see if this will help.

From what I can see, this 1912 upright Gabler piano sold originally for $130.00 by Gabler Piano Company. Anyway, I hope this help you somewhat. I am also hoping that you can perhaps point me in a direction that may help me find a current price for this Gabler upright. I did find one Gabler upright, circa 1877 for $11,000, restored.

But nothing further forward in year. This piano was sold new for about $1995.00, including the bench. The current value of your piano all depends on the condition of it.

The best thing to do (if yo u are selling it) is to have it appraised. The appraiser would give you documentation showing it's current value and that is great to have to show any potential buyers. Another thing you can do if you want to sell and do not want to bother with a private sale, contact your local piano dealer.

They may be happy to take if off your hands and give you a fair price. I own the 26th chickering grand piano made.
