Neither of them would be something I could recommend, particularly without seeing what they are like inside.

If you want a more informed opinion you should send an email to silverwood pianos.

I have read that the Mason Risch pianos were very good pianos, so that would be my preference.

Thanks for pointing out that the one piano is a former player piano.

I would think that everything would be loose inside after removing parts.

Also the one key on the far right looks to be lower than the rest may need some work.

If you worry your daughter might not stick with lessons for long, you might be better off buying a piano with better resale value.

Although beautiful, they are quite old and probably worn out or nearly so.

I believe you do have more choices than you might think, and can find something within your budget and ambitions that will serve you better.

The expense of owning a piano just begins with the purchase price.

In fact, if you get a real beater, you will still have to pay money to get rid of it, whereas if you got something a little more reasonable, you might actually make a few bucks when you sell it or trade up for a better one for your little girl.

Since no one has mentioned it, your best piano dollar will be spent on having a qualified tech inspect any used piano before you buy it.

A pat on the back from me, for doing something so nice for your kid.

Unfortunately its a catch 22 situation, you dont want to spend much in case she doesnt like it but if the piano is a horrible clunker the chances are she wont like it.

Of all the students I teach who dont practice most of them have old pianos like these that are completely out of tune, have broken keys and are pretty much unplayable.

No wonder they dont want to practice, imagine something sounding really bad even when you are getting it right My advice for those on a budget is to buy a nice new no frills digital.

Its easy to sell on if things dont work out and at least you know it works and sounds okay.

Anyway, It has a number 28090 on it and another number 22471 on the left inside.

Would any of you experts know what year it is or around what year it is 20s, 30s, 40s.
