    True, Rich, except on the Strad, where the hammer price was $3.15 MM and the addition of the buyers premium brought the total to $3.544 MM. Amazing price, especially given that the previous record...

    Actually, the the hammer price on the Strad was $3.15 MM (highest ever paid for a musical instrument -- at least at auction), the Hauser was $150,000 and the Henderson was $26,000. The Les Paul went...

    Yeah, also have to keep in mind that they tack on an additional 20% "buyer's premium" above and beyond the hammer price - so the F4 you might win for $5k actually costs you $6k.

    I think the short answer to your question is no, there really aren't any citterns in the $600 range that are worth owning. #You could definitely find a decent zouk or OM for under $1k, but there's...

    Is the key of the tune E major -- i.e., do you need to use a G#? If so, I'd do what you suggested - tune ADAD and then capo at the 2nd fret -- gives you a great E drone which you can make even...

    I took a pass on a nice Foley zouk last June -- IIRC, the seller wanted around $1,500. My impression is that Foley zouks & OM's generally sell in the $1500-2000 range. Might be a little higher now,...

    Jacob - No, I haven't played one of those German OM's, so I stand corrected -- at least technically. But clearly these are classical-style instruments, not really comparable to the Freshwater that...

    "Can" an 18"-scale be tuned GDAE? Of course -- you can tune it any damned way you want. Will it sound good and play well? No. To get anything close to a reasonable tension on the G, you'll have to go...
