Piano values are not simply determined by age and/or model, and as such there is no simple blue book for pianos. Taken into account is the condition, not only the outward appearance, but inside, the condition of the strings, the action (hammers, felt, leather, wood) the piano keys themselves - too many variables apply to say that Piano XYZ built by Company ABC built in 1908 is worth so many dollars. It will be best to consult with a local piano tuner or piano technicians guild in your area.
stand in front of the keys with the lid lifted. Slide the 1 foot by 5 feet panel lying on the top of the piano, under the lid. Can't miss the serial number.
Roughly: Baby Grand = up to 5' 7" Grand = 5' 7" - 7' Concert Grand 7'+ Measure the longest length under the entire piano frame. Pianos are rarely, for example, exactly 6' long. But a 5' 10" is considered a "6 footer." So commonly, a baby is about 5 feet, grand is 6, concert is 7. Some purists consider anything smaller than a concert grand (7') a baby grand. Personally, a standard parlor grand for me starts at 5' 7" which is the Steinway Model M. Their baby grand is Model S at 5' 1": Model "S": 5'1" Model "M": 5'7" Model "O" and "L": 5'10" Model "A": 6'2" Model "B": 6'11" Model "D": 8'11"
I think that the price is going to depend on a year it was manufactured, and whether you are trying to trade it in or sell to a reseller (like a piano store), or a private buyer. I would search eBay for similar listings. Currently, one is selling for about 6000$ on eBay, made in late 90s.
A centrifugal electric blower is installed in the lower portion of the piano cabinet. Attached to the player action, it creates the same vacuum to operate the player that you do when you pump the pedals with your feet. The blowers installed by Rechel Piano Company, incorporate a volume control, a rewind speed reduction, and a one way valve to allow the piano to still be pumped by foot. Pumping it by foot was the original way to power a player piano.

I know that you've probably tried this, but it seems worth mentioning: is your foot on the brake? With my '99 Taurus, I must have my foot on the break to shift out.
No. That title I believe would go to double bass. Actually, I think a 9-foot concert grand piano beats both, in every dimension.
left foot, right foot repeat
The Emedia Piano Pack can have foot pedals attached as well as a microphone.

We have a musette player piano and it works as a regular piano. If you want to use the player portion, on ours you open the back panel behind the pedals, pull down the foot pumps and pedal away.
It depends... Without a player system or a life system in the piano, a run-of-the-mill 9-footer can be between 800 and 1200 pounds, depending on the year it was made, or type. A player system or a life system can add a significant amount of weight.
