Good stuff on ebay

[Windsong]

Not exactly a common sighting:

...but at this price, I'm not thinking it'll move all to quickly.  I suppose we'll see.

Looks like it sold for a solid thousand bucks. That's a rarity and definitely a museum piece for sure.

Three bills for a HP C Fischer? 
Who'da thunk it?

It sold for that?  Yikes! 

[andybeals]

There was a (severely) water-damaged Noblet alto in Texas that went for $450 a couple of weeks ago.

Four hundred and fifty dollars for something that had ruined wood.

It looked like it had been attacked by the salt monster vampire from TOS S01E01.  The Man Trap

Four-hundred fifty dollars.

[DaveLeBlanc]

I guess the market is ripe for high prices!

[Windsong]

This one has been kicking around for a little while.  What do you make of that chamferred C tone hole?  I have not seen enough of these Harry stencils to know for sure, but I would be surprised if it came from the factory like this, and see no advantage, unless it was intended to be partially exposed for note blending, or some other advanced fingering technique I'm not familiar with.

[Silversorcerer]

I agree that the chamfering of the C hole is not factory, no clue why except someone “improved” or personalized it.

[Windsong]

I suspect the crack will scare some buyers away, but it actually looks well attended to, and if it will play, this is a fine price for a mid level Alto.

Neat.

[Windsong]

Boy, that's gorgious, Dave.  I saw the price and clicked back out of it for fear of hitting BIN, and having to sell the house to pay for it.

E. ALBERT is where it's at!
