I’ve actually just had a look at stopping at Jon’s on the way to Stockton on Friday. It’s just a little bit too far off track for me to justify it. It’s a 4 and a half hour trip as it is. Would be nice to meet him, but I don’t think I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a great bloke and it’s nice to see the person who made your instrument and the environment it was made in. It’s a very pretty part of the world too.

All really good people working there so happy to pay a bit more to help keep them open. Their used prices are pretty spot on; the values they’ve quoted that they’d sell for when I’ve inquired about selling stuff to them have been mostly borne out by what I’ve sold them for privately.

How do they know it was previously loved? Maybe the guy with it hated it, did they ask? I mean they sold it, they can't have loved it that much.

It may well have been truly loved, but with the economy in such an unhealthy condition, needs must in many quarters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed; I’ve had a few occasions in my life where I’ve had to let a treasured instrument go in order to pay bills. It sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
