Anyway, the Bentley pianos were never very good when they were made here. They are now made by Pearl River, and are pretty much a standard issue Chinese piano.

Background. In the United States, any musical works published in 1924 or earlier, in addition to those voluntarily placed in public domain, exist in the public domain. In most other countries, music generally enters the public domain in a period of fifty to seventy-five years after the composer's death.

Pianos do not get better with age. The action has a zillion moving parts that wear out, the hammers wear out, the dampers wear out and don't work right. The pin blocks get loose and/or crack, the sound boards crack, lose their crown and compress. The strings get old, corroded and dead sounding.

New paper dolls from publishers like B. Shackman, Paper Studio Press and Dover may not seem very collectible now, but even within the last 20 years, some have greatly increased in value. Those that have been discontinued or had small production runs are likely to be more valuable because of their comparative scarcity.

Samick makes excellent pianos at a very good value. Some of the "brands" they make may or may not come close to the same feel, tone, and touch of your Yamaha. I wouldn't hesitate in considering one, but would definitely have a technician look at it before committing to buy used.

Most older style Beale pianos are worth restoring. The relatively low value of some older styles in a way does the quality of these pianos an injustice as most had a full iron frame, were overstrung and had a quality underdamper playing mechanism.

I have had many Yamaha before, but now have a YC-Pramberger. It's the best piano for the money. And IMO, it's up there with other top pianos as far as sound quality. Someone else seems to have gotten a Pramberger grand for under 10k (plus trade-in of an upright, I think).

if you're one of those people who goes to many concerts, award shows, or live stages, yes, of course they're worth the money. you get to wave your lightstick around and show support to your favorite. but, if you rarely or never go to concerts, no, they aren't worth it.

It sounds great and the Pratt-Reed action is nice and smooth with a light touch. It may not be a tier one piano but a nice piano still. So, based on my on experience with Kohler and Campbell, I think they are nice pianos.

Value You will not get rich selling matchbooks. Besides some very old very specific covers most are worth 10-75 cents. You can look on ebay all day and see people asking for huge sums for similar collections.

As mentioned, although damaged or broken record players certainly don't have the same value as ones which can still play perfectly, that doesn't mean broken players don't have any value at all. Some record players can still be valuable because of their striking and unique style.

The copyright duration of composed music is the same as for books, paintings and other literary and artistic works: the author's lifetime + 70 years. Therefore, the musical compositions of old masters like Beethoven (1770 – 1827) or Mozart (1756 – 1791) are all in the public domain and you can freely use them.

Condition is very important and will greatly influence value. A beaten-up old book that is falling apart will have little value. First editions are sought-after by book collectors and a first edition is usually more valuable than a later printing. A first edition signed by the author will have even greater value.

Richard Mille watches hold their value well but not fantastically, thanks to their rarity and the limited numbers in which they are produced. But then, that is the case with most watches. These watches were featured on Forbes as good investments, so that's there.

Wurlitzer pianos may not be considered to be on the same level as Steinway, Mason & Hamlin or Yamaha but they are considered to be solid instruments. A good middle ground between quality and value.
