A Cable-Nelson piano with a serial in the 275000s would have been built in mid-1957. This year began with serials in the 272000s and ended just before 281000. Interestingly en ough, although it's labeled 'Cable-Nelson,' it was actually a company called Everett that produced these pianos through 1973. Here is an list of quality piano makers and their serial numbers. 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. There IS a charge to do more research about this piano advertised by the Gabler Piano Company. 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. Is it an upright or a grand? Technically it can't beboth. 'Upright Grand' and 'Cabinet Grand' were terms used referring to very tall upright pianos, usually 52'or more in height. These pianos often had string lengths, tone andtechnical capabilities equal to, and indeed sometimes bette r than,petite baby grands - and were named as such by manufacturers for marketing purposes. ![]() ![]() But keep in mind: they technically are not grandpianos in any way.' Second, it would completely depend on the condition of the pianoand if it plays (keys don't stick, etc,) If it needs a lot of workthen it will cost money to restore it thus depreciating its value. You can search for a serial number which should be stamped on theinside. Lift the lid and it should be located by the goldharp/plate. That should tell you how old it is which would also bea factor in determining value.
