Re: Howe-Orme on eBay.. "kissed by the angels"
Got my Howe-Orme off eBay for less than $200, from a guy in Horseheads NY who said it was a "wall hanger."
But, the restorative experts at Stutzman's did a nice little neck re-set on it, and it's eminently playable -- and I do play it, now and then. Tailpiece cover's missing, and some of the tabs broken off, so a previous owner cut "tabs" out of the tailpiece to hook up two of the strings. They work, and I'm relatively happy, especially at the price.
