1923 Vega Tenor Banjo Posted by: Birdog225
Video duration: 130 seconds My first thumb pick video! This excellent survivor is complete down to every detail including the original case. I re-strung it and tightened up the head and it was ready to play as recovered. The Vega Banjo Company out of Boston is legendary and this piece is an outstanding example of their work.

1951 Kimball Upright Piano "B" Posted by: Birdog225
Video duration: 108 seconds This is part of a match pair of student/teacher pianos. This one is in the Grand Room and is never played. Every pre-ban ivory key is flawless, the action is light and quick, and the hammers are still as soft as a liberal. I'm saving this one.....

1929 Normandy Clarinet in B-flat Posted by: Birdog225
Video duration: 77 seconds This excellent example of Parisian craftsmanship from the height of the Big Band era has an all granadilla body with solid nickel keys. The tone is mellow and deep with not even a hint of brightness. This is a numbered piece, but of professional grade. With its original alligator skin over teak case, I just brought it out of humidor conditioning.

1930's Steinway Upright Grand Piano Posted by: Birdog225
Video duration: 141 seconds This 'ol girl has undergone an extensive restoration with all new high nickel phosphor-bronze strings, hammers, drawbacks, and felts. The finish was left original as well as the full-boat ivory/ebony keyboard. This pretty girl has not one missing tooth; with every pre-ban ivory key in perfect original condition.

No, I don't sell anything; I just buy. It's a character flaw....

Hey man. Do you collect all this stuff or do you sell it? Just curious. You have a lot of instruments, and I'll bet you know how to play each one.
By: cliffcyphers. on 03 Dec 08, 16:55:24
That is cool. Just how many instruments do you have?

Very very cool! What a place you have there -- just a little bit of heaven! Nice laid back picking and very fancy viedo with the folding page! Top notch. I'll PM you as I'm looking for a pre-war Gibson tenor!
