Pricing for Musical Instruments

During the manufacturing of a musical instrument, the metal used is stretched, spun, hammered, bent, flared, twisted, drilled, cut, soldered, and polished. This causes stresses within the metal that can make the instrument harder to play and affect its tone. Sometimes, metal parts actually vibrate at different frequencies when the instrument is played. These stresses occur at the molecular level in the alloy used to make the instrument. Often, musicians can tell an older instrument from a newer one because the instrument has aged long enough for the stresses to work themselves out naturally. Not everyone has 30 to 35 years to wait for a great sounding instrument. Now, you don't have to...
