“I had my piano serviced by Ranjan Fernando, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. His expertise in both piano tuning and repairing is remarkable. The piano now sounds beautifully balanced, with a clear and warm tone. He also took the time to explain the work done and provided useful tips for maintenance. Ranjan is professional, punctual, and clearly passionate about his craft. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable piano tuning or repair services.”
Piano Valuation & Assessment
Find out what your piano is really worth — and what it would need — from a hands-on inspection by people who repair and restore pianos every day.
"What is my piano worth?" is one of the questions we hear most — from families selling an inherited instrument, buyers checking a second-hand piano before paying for it, and owners deciding whether an old piano is worth restoring. A piano's value depends far more on what is inside the cabinet than on how it looks, so the only reliable answer comes from a hands-on inspection.
Our valuation is a practical condition-and-value assessment carried out by Master Ranjan Fernando or a technician he has trained — the same people who buy, sell, repair and restore pianos every day. It is an honest market view based on four decades of trade experience, not a certified or insurance valuation.
What We Assess
What Decides a Piano's Value
Maker, Model & Age
We identify the maker and model and estimate the age from the serial number and construction — a Yamaha, Kawai or a well-made English upright hold value very differently.
Structure
Soundboard cracks, bridge condition, pinblock and tuning-pin tightness — the expensive faults that decide whether a piano can hold a tune at all.
Action & Keys
Hammers, dampers, felts and key movement, including sticking keys, worn hammers and damp or insect damage common in Sri Lanka's climate.
Cabinet & Market
Cabinet and finish condition, then what similar pianos realistically sell for in Sri Lanka today — and what any repair or restoration would cost.
How It Works
Getting Your Piano Valued

Send Us the Details
Share the make, any serial number you can find inside the lid, rough age, and a few photos of the cabinet, keys and inside of the piano.

Initial View
From the photos we can often tell you straight away whether the piano is worth a full inspection — and we will say so honestly if it is not.
3
Hands-On Inspection
For a reliable figure we inspect the piano at our Welisara showroom or at your home, checking structure, action, tuning stability and cabinet.
4
Clear Answer
You get an honest view of the piano's condition, its likely value as it stands, and what it could be worth after repair or restoration.
