Question
I am still waiting for a replacement cost due to a fire for an accordian approx 80 + yrs old and a clarinet approx 40 yrs also a guitar (brand not known) approx 60 + thank you

Answer
Not to be difficult or anything, but in my introduction, I state that my area is brass instruments and that I do not do evaluations.  An accordian, a clarinet and a guitar are not brass instruments, and if they were, I would not be quoting values.

Sorry

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.

Experience

I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
