Hello, I bought that silver Barone that you sold to Andrew Hickman (swampcabbage) a year and a half ago. I hope you don't mind me asking a couple questions about it, just to establish the history of the piece should I ever decide to sell it.
So were you the original owner, by chance? If not, do you know how many owned it prior to you? Was it ever worked on or was it an original 7* (.105) when you acquired it?
Lastly, what did you think of the piece? I guess not much since you sold it, eh? I think it's got a full-bodied warm tone, and really excels in the upper register. Where I think it falls down is the low register--subtones in particular, which it doesn't seem to do very well.
Anyway, saw you were online so thought I'd shoot you a note.
Thanks in advance for any info on this piece.
Jim
