MANFIO Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I thought that this outstanding book would be followed by others in the same style, that is a non Stradivari book with real information for makers, full plans, technical articles, etc. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

Jeff White Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 A set just came up in Tarisio's T2 auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not telling Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 What am I missing? Why is the T2 estimate so low? I can't assume it's condition, because I'm seeing a few selling around that same range. And many sell for double and triple that range.

Have more instruments been found that should be included? Are there problems with any of the illustrations or technical data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As technology moved forwards, newer publications have CT scans, density measures, more detail photos, varnish info etc. I still think they are good books, it was kind of revolutionary on its release.

Geigenbauer Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 These books (I believe it was the deluxe edition) were sold also at the T2 auction in January. Hammer price was $2200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarisio does this once in awhile, I think it's to create excitement. They know it's low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Allen Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'm just waiting for A: someone to die and I inherit a set, or B: The economy tanks, spiraling us into a depression of which the likes no one has seen and someone sells their copy to me for dollars 2 American in desperation.

MANFIO Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Resin casts of classic instruments would be more valuable than many books, but they are not produced yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon I think someone will be able to produce CNC models of arching from CT scans. Probably safer for the instruments too, than being used to make a cast.
