Yup! I'm resisting the temptation... better go online & check my bank account to make sure this can't happen.

Yes it really IS lovely, But I actually repeat to myself "I do not have $18,750, ... I do not have $18,750..."
That usually does it for me :))

Way ahead of you. I've been salivating since the minute it showed up! (Ain't gonna happen, <sobbing>)
It actually reminds me of Loar #1, in a modern way.

Well .... I just can't own all the instruments that I would like to. I can't afford them .... or a bigger house to put them in. R/
I'd buy it, but that would be betting I don't last another 20 years.

From Br1ck - ".....but that would be betting I don't last another 20 years." That's the only thing preventing me from ordering a 'custom built' Ellis "A" style - mortality !! For anybody with adequate Shekels,that Gil.is a cracker !!,

The blacktop Gilchrist A would be my favourite even without the provenance, but that makes it even cooler. :)

I heard one of these two played a few years back when it was up for sale--just a YouTube video--and I was struck by how beautiful it sounded.
