Greetings,
I posted the $1600 because the last two of that vintage I saw were poor
instruments, and I couldn't recommend the buyer pay more than that for them.
When the additional work of string seating, regulation, voicing, new dampers,
and a lot of tuning, is factored in, I wouldn't want one of my customers to
be into these things for more than $2500.
Has anybody seen a used one of this vintage sell for more than $3,000?
Regards,
Ed
