Format

Your ad must be written using the following format (though we're open to people expressing their creativity and humour):

Title

Description

Location of Piano

Price

Contact info (phone and/or email and best times to call)

Photo

Links to the manufacturer's website are also a good idea, especially the exact page for your model. The more information you include, the more likely a buyer will be interested. Please note only ads written in or close to the format suggested will be accepted.

Photos

Also include at least one good quality jpeg image of the piano, making sure to note if it is a stock photo. We can post one or two thumbnail photos and link to up to 3 others.

Things to remember when you photograph your piano: Think of your online listing as if it were a piano in a classy showroom. A showroom has good lighting, nice backround and no clutter. In order to make the photo reflect the best in your instrument make sure to dust and clean your piano, remove any items from the sides of top of the piano and use adequate lighting.

Excellent Sample Ad

1992 Yamaha C2

Advanced student piano with bell-like tone in superb condition. Tuned twice per year and used for piano lessons for 16 years. One owner. No damage except a small 2" scratch under the "Yamaha" brass inlay.
Found to be in good working order by McCann Piano Service. Matching stool included.

$12500 obo, located in Kelowna.
Phone Sam (250)555-5555 after 4pm.

In addition to poor spelling, grammar and punctuation, the seller did not even mention the kind of piano for sale, the year it was made nor the manufacturer. Specific details, such as the condition or tone, were vague.

The seller forgot to include price or phone number.

The photo was taken in poor lighting and shows more junk than piano. It leaves us wondering what exactly IS that dog doing to the piano?

This ad is ideal. The year, make and model are all included along with clear description of the condition, tone and history.

The price and contact information are completed with details that let the buyer know the price is open to offers and when the best time to reach the seller.

The photograph shows a clean instrument without junk and clutter around it.

 

Suggestions for Pricing & Selling

The best way to have your piano priced for a sale is to ask your tuner what is a good asking and sale price. McCann Piano Service is experienced in accurately pricing pianos: please contact us.

You may find the website Blue Book of Pianos helpful in pricing, though not as effective as an in-person assessment by an expert. Also consider what you paid for the instrument, the condition, and what similar pianos are posted and selling for. Remeber a piano priced too high will take far longer to or may not sell.

It is a good idea to have the piano tuned so it "shows" well to prospective buyers. We are happy to assist you put your piano into the saleable condition. Again, please contact us.
