Well, here is one more old beast that will go for the big bucks. It's only a matter of how high the bidding will go.

Looks like it'll go for what the last 3-top valve one did--about $3K.

But a "patch over a blemish" is really a "patch over a hole".

This one is in a lot better condition than the last one. That hole is not very big and can be repaired quite easily. I was thinking about bidding on it until it hit $2000. Hey Harold, how high will you go?

I'm going to start attending some estate auctions and searching old barns so I can get one of these on the cheap..... :shock:

Yep, I know Steve. He sold me the Holton 345 that Dan is working on. He collects Yorks too. Like Dan has the time to squeeze in another one? :shock:

Bloke -
You infer that you have played this particular instrument.
Could you give us a rundown of its positive and negative attributes?

Thanks
