A local and qualified piano technician (sometimes called a tuner) could survey the instrument for a reasonable fee. It wouldn't hurt to get a professional opinion.

I've been a musician and pianist for 50 years yet I would feel unqualified to render an opinion on such a complicated mechanical device. I love that you want to enjoy the furniture as well as the music; there are few man-made things as beautiful as a grand piano!
