Here are a few items that are here on consignment.
With our consignment program you can turn that used acoustic instrument that's been sitting around collecting dust into cash. Contact me for prices.


Paramount Banjo
This Paramount banjo was probably built in the early 1920's. Originally a tenor banjo, it has been fitted with a five string neck. The resonator is mounted for easy removal by sliding a couple of latches. That way it can easily be converted to open back. Comes with a period hardshell case.
1965 Gibson Hummingbird
This particular example of the legendary Gibson Hummingbird is really sweet. Used by bluegrass, folk, and rock musicians alike, it was one of the most sought after guitars ever built. The narrow neck, quick action and sweet tone make this a truly great guitar as there is still quite a demand for these pre-1970 models.
Kay Upright Bass
This old Kay sounds really sweet. An upright bass just can't be beat. This is a smaller bass just right for someone looking for the upright sound without the bother a lugging around a full size or three quarter size.
1919 Gibson A-model Mandolin
Get that awesome Gibson sound without shelling out three of four thousand dollars. Own a piece of history. This little mandolin sounds truly awesome with a loud bark and deep tone. Plays like a dream.

Handmade Archtop Guitar
This old handmade arhtop plays like a dream.Low action and awesome tone.
Really Nice Fiddle
This is a really loud fiddle with a beautiful back.
Kay Kraft
Very old Kay Kraft tenor banjo.
1927 Harmony Aero-uke
This strange little instrument is a cross between an aeroplane and a ukalele, which were both gaining popularity during the late twenties. Has a lot of volume coming through the holes on the trailing edge of the wing. Plays nice but does not fly well.

Ovation Custom Balladeer
This rounded back guitar has a cedar top, giving it an awesome sound. Plays like a dream.

Martin Tiple
The tiple is a ten string instrument of South American influence. This tiple has a scalloped fret board. I talked with Martin and found out that although the scalloped fret board was an option, he didn't think this was done at the factory on this particular instrument. Solid mahogany throughout. Comes in original beat-up softshell case.
