Max Frirsz 1970 Cello – $68,000
I’m selling my previous cello that was made by Max Frirsz in NYC in 1970. There is a sound post crack in the back that was repaired by the maker. It has a wide Montagnana shape. It plays very easily and has great power, particularly in its C string. It successfully projected when soloing with orchestras and been owned by multiple professional cellists, including Harvey Shapiro and members of the St. Louis Symphony and Oregon Symphony cello sections. This cello is too good to go unplayed. Please email me if interested.
Price: $68,000.00 (negotiable)

1961 era Gibson ES 125 or ? Opinions differ. Some “player upgrades” ie new machines, intended for earlier guitar. Please see photos. With case, outside of case damages but solid. Wide leather guitar strap. Plays and sounds the real thing.

This is my beautiful 15/85 Brannen with 15/85 Lafin headjoint. Played for over a decade of my professional career, and I won two national orchestral auditions with it. It’s a phenomenal instrument but I recently got a new flute and can’t justify keeping such a great instrument as just a backup.

C# trill key
D# roller
15/85 Lafin headjoint with 14k gold lip plate
