It looks like Jonathan Sherwin is the lone bidder on this. Jon, if you read this list, don't bid any higher than $12. That's its regular retail price according...

Schulhoff had a dada-ist side that is consistent with the lack of measures. If my memory serves me right, William Waterhouse made the edits on the measured...
Hello Harry and fellow Contrarians, Thanks for the advice, Harry, I did do some research before making my bid. $12 is my limit for just about everything (what...
I've just started playing on an old Heckel contra that sounds just gorgeous, but some of the key work is a bit awkward. I've managed to settle some of the key...

Just watching recent posts. What is the logic behind the rollers on these instruments going from A and such to the low keys instead of each other? Every time...
I have a vague memory of Hugh Cooper telling me that he had suggested to Mollenhauer that rollers between the thumb keys would be desirable. This was probably...
