Instrument Buying and Selling

over a million annually - and that is just electric guitars

estimate from the blog - http://www.ondisruption.com/my weblog/2007/02/fender.html

there are about 11 guitar magazines with combined circulations of slightly more than 1 million

What is the value of kiso suzuki copy of antonius stradivarius no.7

If you want an amazing amp under 200 go for the roland cube 30x which is on average 180 it has lots of effects and great sound you only would go upto sound volume 2 mostly i have got one and i think there great

Honesty, I don't know. But honestly, don't sell it!

It's worth $300 to $400, the difference being whether or not it's in mint condition and if it has a case? Plus, whatever you can get from someone for it?

it depends what sound you like. But in my opinion steel strings don't have the best sound to them, the other plasticy ones have more of a clear sound to them and don't hurt your fingers as much. It depends more on the type of strings what sound it makes more than the guitar body.

no. The first guitar goes back for along time, but cant be traced back farther than the 1500's. The first electric guitar was made by Adolph Rickenbacker, But this was a semi hollow body, meaning there were still sound holes like in acoustics. Eventually a man named Les Paul created the first Solid body guitar( obviously called the Les Paul), and Leo fender created one not long after him (called the Fender broadcaster, soon changed to stratocaster)

I hope this helped

It is worth finding an experienced dealer in fine violins to look at it. Preferably several.

I bought it in the first days of this month and I'm loving it. I think you won't regret it. Neck is really comfortable, sound of Texas special pick ups is just amazing.

Honestly I didn't expect THAT much from it when I bought it.

The value of a piano is not based upon its serial number (or age) - this piano being built between 1905 and 1910. More important is the condition of the piano. Does it need new hammers? How is the cabinet? How is the voicing? What are the condition of the strings? You might want to try the following website to get a better idea... http://www.57piano.com/questions.htm. Good luck.

I can't tell you the exact year, but by virtue of the serial number, yours is fairly recent make. If it's in tune, and looks good, see what the best offer you can get is. Take it. Wurlitzers are about the bottom of the barrel in pianos, frankly, but it's worth a couple-three hundred bucks to someone, I'm sure.

it's worth around 800 euro in good working condition

2126 is a model number, not a serial number

Yamaha flutes are well made and have a price tag that matches. They can be purchased new from Yamaha dealers and average about $1200-1600 per instrument.

The best classical guitar for one is determined by preferance and price range. If you only want to spend $300-$900 than a Yamaha or a la patrie would be what I would personally advise the perchase of. If you want an instrument that is of high quality amounst concert guitars than you must spend $30'000+. Heres a list of people who make\made the cream of the crop. But some of these guys do make student models for $1400+ but those are made by people learning under the maestro's. But still are decent in quality and are, during production, observed by there companies name bearers.

I've seen them at anything from free (if you collect it) to £200.

This instrument is really only worth a few dollars at most. Parts cannot be purchased. The manufacturer is out of business and the product has no significant salvage value.

If it has sentimental value, than I apologize. 25 years is old for any Electonic product.

A Thomas Californian 263B should bring about $50-$250 depending on demand. As a buyer the electronic organ is a super bargain and the rewards far far outweigh the monetary value.

A more appropriate term to 'old' these days is vintage. If an old guitar is a vintage guitar, then so must an old electronic organ be a vintage electronic organ. However, since organs and their types are no longer household words this really doesn't matter. The electronic organ is the most misunderstood and unappreciated musical instrument of our current digitally obsessed society. The fact is, NO digital electronic instrument can come close to the tonal power of a real analog electronic ( tubes, transistors, or LSI- large scale integrated circuits), and or electromechanical organ.

I happen to own several organs and know that all of the aforementioned is true when basing worth on a dollar amount, and actually of all of the Thomas Californian organ line, the 263B is the best next to the Quadraphonic. The 294 Californian Deluxe is the better of the models that use TOS ( top order synthesis) integrated circuits for the tone generation where there is one master oscillator that tunes the entire range of the keyboard. The TOS models don't have the biting up front tone that the 12 individual transistor (TI) oscillator models have. The 263 ( and lower) and Quadraphonic use a 12 individual tone generation system and contrary to the writer of the first 4 lines of text above, all parts for the 263 are common every day transistors, capacitors, resistors, diodes, and the wire wound chokes ( AKA- Thomas Organ Cry Baby Wah Wah) just don't go bad.

As far as the parts for the TOS organs, they too are available too- Brand new TOS tone generator chip replacements are inexpensive and easy to install. The General rule of thumb is that if it is numbered below 263 or Quad it is a transistorized tone generator spinet, and if it is higher than 263 it is a larger cabinet TOS model. The Thomas highest end model- the Trianon used the same TOS chips and because it used more filtering and had more voices it is a superior organ, but with this said the Californian 287 and 294 sound great, the 284 sounds somewhat cheap and contributes to the myth about 1970's organs being cheesy. ALL of the 263 or lower spinets sound incredible. Worth is low, but value of electronic organs is high.

No current day organ can achieve the tonal personality of analog organs. Unfortunately the demand is low and the supply far far outweighs the demand. This is why it is so great being a fan of electronic organs, you can get what you want for peanuts. For instance I paid $30 for a pristine Californian 263B, paid $100 for a mint 81' Hammond Elegante, was given a Gulbransen Rialto II free... the point is don't worry over trying to make money from an organ as much as finding a good home for it- someone who will play it and cherish is, and maybe even pass it on to future generations.

Nearly every brand still has parts suppliers. In fact Wurlitzer in particular has enough parts for several generations into the future via former employees who bought it all when the plant closed and they also service the mailable light weight chassis. There are ceramic 'circuit packs' that you often see in organs. These are to aid in manufacturing, reliability, space, and serviceability, but all are represented on schematics for the actual parts that are inside and can be repaired, or completely rebuilt using common parts. One last thing, organs are very incredible musical instruments. They are manufactured with the basic voices of tonality that cover the entire range of music- Flute ( tibia), Diapason, reed, horn, and strings. These are organ tones designed to sound this way, not just inferior attempts to try to sound like the real instruments, but genuine voicing of a real electronic musical instrument that can play more styles of music than any other instrument.

He had two kids Virginia Web. The first one was Les Jr. born in 1941 and Lester born in 1944. After divorcing Virginia he married Mary Ford. He and Mary adopted a girl called Mary in 1958. Robert was born in 1959, not adopted.

Anywhere from maybe 100 dollars to 50 thousand dollars. Eric Clapton's favorite stratocaster "Blackie" sold for over $900,000 in auction!

This piano was sold new for about $1995.00, including the bench. The current value of your piano all depends on the condition of it. If it is scratched or has droopy pedals, unstable legs, or anything major wrong with it, those things would greatly decrease it's value. The best thing to do (if you are selling it) is to have it appraised. The appraiser would give you documentation showing it's current value and that is great to have to show any potential buyers. Another thing you can do if you want to sell and do not want to bother with a private sale, contact your local piano dealer. They may be happy to take if off your hands and give you a fair price.

GOOD LUCK!

A Gibson Les Paul Special is a guitar which has first introduced in 1955. They can be worth around å£1500 to å£3000 depending on condition and whether it includes the case.

There is one on Craig's list for $65. One on Ebay Canada with a starting bid of $125 and buy it now of over $400 with no bids. We picked one up at a garage sale for $30. They seem to be well-regarded instruments if you Google them they get good reviews. My guess is about $75-100.
