Re: Remember When Loars Were Less Than $10,000?
Ain't 'hindsight' terrific !!!. If i decided to worry over some of the instruments that i've passed up,even here in the UK,i'd be having sleepless nights. I passed on a wonderful condition Bacon & Day "Silver Belle" Tenor banjo that was going for 'half a song',back in the '60's. I also let a 'one of a kind' custom built Vega Vox Plectrum Banjo slip out of my grasp.The owner wanted £100 UK for it,again back in the late 60's. Considering that my salary as a 'junior' draftsman was only £15 ($20) a week,it was a bit too rich for me.But if only i'd known !,
