Instrument Buying and Selling

Holy crap! I have one of those - email me! I have a bit of info that might help you. I have just become interested in selling mine and am trying to figure out how much it's worth, too.

Well considering the Silvertone Guitar was made at around the same time as the Skittle Trumpet which was created by professional Trumpeter David Smith, it would be approximately 56 years old.

Gibson Baldwin is an educational series Les Paul Style Guitar. They have some budget features hence the low price, for example "bolt-on neck" instead of "set-in neck". Interestingly, they have the trademark Gibson "Open-book" Headstock design. Usually this design is reserved for Gibson USA models. Not even the Gibson Epiphone series has this style headstock. Made in China however Chinese instruments are gaining a positive reputation, quality from China is improving rapidly and the Gibson Baldwin is good value for the money.

Simply a violin made in austria. One of a million copy of Stradivarius violin...

Its worth jack squat dude. There's lots of guitars out there, and yours in not unique. You might find a chump to pay $150.00 for it but that's kinda greedy cause you can get a totally new Gemini III for that. Plus the Gem 3 is better than the Gem 2, in my opinion. I don't know why people think their old junk is supposed to go up in value. Wouldn't you rather have a new guitar instead of someone's old one? I mean come on. Okay okay maybe it's worth like $50,000.00.

Lazarro is a good clarinet for beginners as well as some intermediate players. Also note, the instrument is only as good as the player as well as a technician to services. These two factors should also be considered when comparing brands. You can have a very nice brand such as buffet crampon, but not have the proper set up on it which of course make it a very frustrating instrument to work with. Yes, there are some brands of instruments that should be avoided as far as the first instrument. Lazaro is not one of them

Go to a shop that sells both. Play both, one at a time, and through the same amp. The one you like better is the better guitar for you. A Virgo is more of a sit and play. The Warlock is slightly awkward to sit with because of all the angles.

As of 1902, 540 violins made by Stradivarius were known to exist. Also: 12 violas, 50 cellos--and two guitars. According to:http://www.geocities.com/ganesha_gate/strad.html

The above is inaccurate. It is known that Antonio Stradivari made about 1100 instrument is his lifetime, about 540 of which were violins; not all of the violins survived. As of 1902, about 650 Stradivadi instruments were know to have survived and been authenticated, but only about half of them were violins. (Stradivari also made violas, cellos, guitars, and harps). The total number of authentic Stradivarius violins still in existence at present is probably something around 300 or fewer.

$800

Affordable, high quality guitar stands can be purchased at a variety of online sites and retail locations. Guitar Center, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, and eBay all sell this item for reasonable rates.

Well you see, everyone wants a newer flute that plays better not an older, used vintage flute. That's why newer flutes are so expensive! Yours is most likely from the 70's. Since Selmer is a very common and not-so expensive flute brand of flute your best price range is worth around $40-$60.

**I also have a Selmer vintage flute and its serial # is 258130 I got it for

$70 at a local music store.

yes, but you would have to drill and screw holes into your guitar. take the pickguard and place it on the body of the guitar. take a sharpie and mark the holes onto the body. drill a TINY hole to allow the screw to go in easy. after that put the pickguard on and screw in special wood screws with a screw driver manually...not with a drill. hope this helps

Honestly, it's hard to say. Lowrey has been producing organs for several years now and they are constantly updating their technology and improving. The M-375 is indeed a great organ, it has decent animation sounds with the flutes, and the rhythm section is not bad for an organ of its age.

Honestly, it has the old technology for the ez-play today music so in the eyes of that aspect, its not worth anything. You could possibly sell it to a person who is looking for a practice organ that lives in a smaller place.

As for value, no more than $200

Yahoo answers suggest between 5,000 and 10,000. For a beginner maybe less, it depends if you want too play it for a very long time or it is just a spare of the moment thing.

The Aspen AD35 made in Japan is one of those best kept secret guitars that is now getting the recognition that only a choice few were privy to until recently. It is the flagship top of line acoustic for this company intended to compete with Martin's D35.

Original owners generally state an average purchase price of $300 new in the mid / latter 1970's. to get in indication of the quality & pricing of the era, I paid $275 for a new us made Martin D28 in 1972. So that was a lot for money for a MIJ guitar of the day.

Many have noted that in spite of the post Brazilian Rosewood International ban, this model was often constructed with solid Brazilian Rosewood ( Japan is not known for it's compliance of International bans (ie) contemporary whaling.

Excellent craftsmanship of the Aspen AD35 as well as the all solid high quality tone woods have made this acoustic Dreadnaught survivor sought after by players and collectors alike. It's signature sound is rich and full and very close to Martin's D35.

Pricing as of 2011 is on the rise. Asking price ranges from a few hundred dollars to as high as $2000 as noted on the net. One went on the market a few months ago and sold for $750 very quickly. Depending on the condition, expect to pay $500 to $1000 for one in good condition. They are sometimes found at yard sales, flea markets etc on the cheap but getting rare.

It is important to note that Aspens AD35 model is unique to the companies average builds. Most if not all the other models fail to share it' all solid quality tone wood construction. The Aspen AD35 is the cream of the companies crop. Most, if not all of of the lower end models do not share it's value. Be sure to Look for the Gold Foil Aspen Label well marked AD35 with a corresponding serial number.

Its kind of a general question, since the rg series has many different models.

Here is a quick list

pro: confortable neck, decent pickups, locking trem (350 and higher). versitile. Ibanez Rg is good for metal, rock, jazz and so forth.

con: cheap materials. Tuners and the metal used for the locking trem. The knife edges which help the trem go back to the neutral position often wear out quickly. After they are worn the trem cannot go back to the neutral position and tuning stability is lost. They would need to be sharpened, but the trem is replaceable. Often even on the fixed bridge guitars tuning is questionable. It may take effort to make it work right

Blankets are commonly put inside the kick drum to change the sound. It is usually used to dampen the sound to give a tighter low thud. Also prevents the sound from having a a higher toned sound from the kick drum heads from rattling too much. Some drummers prefer and old pillow. Feel free to try different objects and find the sound you like.

Yes the fender guitars have great quality, as long as you buy one made in the USA or Mexico. China and Japan make fender squire guitars but they are cheaply made and don't last as long. If you are looking at buying a fender guitar then look at a Mexican or American stratocaster. That is one of the best guitars that fender makes and the best places they make them. The Mexican strat. will last you about 3 to 5 years and the USA strat. about your whole life. Hope that helps.

I agree, definitely go for a strat

Hard to tell without a picture. Try ValueJockey.com it is free. you can post a picture there and get pricing help. Good Luck!!!

i have never ever had a venus flute before i have been playing the flute for about a year now this is my second but i have heard venus flutes are a very good brand and they are very pretty and good. getting a venus flute is a GREAT deal.

It all depends on the level. For beginner it is great but for other levels such as intermediate and professional, it is not

No I believe they stopped producing in 1996
