Limited Edition Gibson Victorian F-style Mandolin

Attention mandolin lovers! Gibson has introduced a limited edition Victorian F-style Mandolin and there are only 15 available worldwide. The mandolin features many Victorian Era details, including the back side accented with a Victorian Red Sunburst finish, a "double flower pot" inlay featured on the peghead face (a pattern that hasn't been used since the end of the pre-truss era), an ebony fingerboard, and a period correct black face top, to name just a few. Each of the mandolins comes with a vintage oblong hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity.

Contrabss Saxophone

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Though the wording of the ad itself is a little strange in the beginning, there is no denying that the Contrabass Saxophone that it lists is a unique find for a musician or a collector. The sax was custom built in 2001 - before the instruments entered a very limited, but regular, production - and has been used professionally since. The Contrabass is the lowest playing real saxophone in the world, handcrafted in Italy by Orsi, and there are so few that it is rare that one comes on the market at all. It is 6'4" tall and weighs about 45-lbs. Two cases are included, a "lightweight" traveling case and a very sturdy shipping case that is about the size of a refrigerator (with wheels). Price: $22,500. Be sure to check out the music clips on the sale site to hear what it sounds like.
