IT IS DIFFICULT TO DATE COLLARD & COLLARD PIANOS DUE TO CONFLICTING STANDARDS FOR SERIAL NUMBERS.

IT WAS TUNED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AFTER WHICH IT PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY. IT HAS SAT BASICALLY UNPLAYED DURING THE INTERIM, LEAVING A KEY OR TWO NOW WITH A TENDENCY TO "STICK." A PROFESSIONAL PIANO MOVER WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE MOVE, FOR ITS IRON FRAME IS VERY HEAVY.
