Love the choice of wood and the heart with which this is being built.

Re: Musical Instrument Auction Melbourne.
I was on it thinking could get a couple of gems at a bargain price... My idea of bargain and the bidders the auction attracted were about 200 to 400% out! And, there was a 25% buyers premium on the prices. The DÁngelico went for $30,000 + BP!! The collectors world is very different to the one I live...

Re: French polishing
Hi,
Pablo Requena has just finished a great series on french polishing which covers most of the questions I had on the issue very well. You might want to take a look.
