KC,

You could try looking into some of the major music
instrument stores online (ie woodwind and brasswind,
brook mays, fred weiner, muncy winds-sorry if I left
anybody out) to get an idea what Amatis are priced at.
With a little luck, you may find an exact match with
the model number. Keep in mind that you will be
getting a NEW mint price. A conservative rule is to
take half of the NEW selling price to get your USED
selling price. PS: your mpc should be a good one.
Pynes are high end in the market. Hope this helps!

George
