Greetings, I posted the $1600 because the last two of that vintage I saw were poor instruments, and I couldn't recommend the buyer pay more than that for them. When the additional work of string seating, regulation, voicing, new dampers, and a lot of tuning, is factored in, I wouldn't want one of my customers to be into these things for more than $2500. Has anybody seen a used one of this vintage sell for more than $3,000? Regards, Ed
