Lynn,

Carl Fisher was the import agent for Buffet for many years. As far
as the instrument being a bargain, I would say it depends on the
condition. It is probable that the instrument will play again, but
depending on the condition of the bore, how well.

I'd be happy to take a look at it for no charge. Just send it up.

later,

Steve
