Vintage Musical Instruments

Its in really good shape for 30 years. All electrics work as they should. Frets are good.

The sound is just what you’d expect from a Rapier 33 with its brilliantly sensitive whammy bar and jangly 60s tones. It’s fully functional early model with a glued neck rather than the later screwed in neck.

Gorgeous Tokai SX-38 electric guitar in very good condition and full working order. As you can see from the photos it's still looking great and has been well looked after. I think this is quite a rare guitar here in the UK, there's very little info available on the net.

From late 60's early 70's. In working condition.

Originally a Woolworth's guitar made by Teisco. I was kind of lucky. I bought 2 a couple of years ago: One looked OK but played awful (intonation impossible to correct) The other. I think a modern pickup selector switch would improve things further.

1958/9 FAMOS archtop guitar, refurbished with neck reset. The guitar has a short scale, non radiused neck which is straight with a low action. There is no truss rod. Everything is original except for the floating pick up, scratch plate and bracket, new wiring and knobs for volume and tone and a three plate piezo wired to an independent input jack. It is full of the usual and attractive stabilised and refinished dents and dings and it has a deep, resonant and woody jazz tone whether acoustic or amplified .The body is unbound. I would like to swap for a suitable archtop for restoration so if you are interested let me know.

No issues, all working with good string spacing, good action and good intonation. Body and neck are quality although not sure what brand of guitar they came from (probably Squier). Back spring cavity filled in and socket moved. Les Paul style bridge fitted. Re-sprayed to a reasonable finish but headstock has had a decal removed so is slightly faded. Electrics are new so no crackles and both tone controls and switch working perfectly. Basic gig bag included. (Two dented tuner covers but tuners works fine). Collect only.

(Who knows?). - It has the unfortunate & common High E Screw Hole Crack (this is not all the way through and does not affect the guitar in any way!). Again, this is unfortunate & common on older guitarsand does not affect the guitar in any way! ).

This guitar plays very nicely. The decoration is slightly worn. The D & G tuners wobble a bit but actually hold tune fine. Body: Light scratches from play wear. One tiny chip on the front lower edge.

A lovely bass in good condition. Guitar plays great.

Never been played, there is no fret wear, no crackles on the knobs. Made in Japan, original paint with racing stripes. Good collection to add on for collectors and offset guitar players. See my other guitar adverts!

This is my Dad's George Formby banjolele, which he bought new. It's the Dallas 'B', number 6046, in its original case. The signature has faded but I've changed the picture contrast in photo 7 and highlighted what's left of it.

This is what I think is a Dobro resonator mandolin. It is strung and playing well.

A really nice early 80's Japanese made Vox Standard 25. Maple body, maple neck. Gloss black finish with cream scratch plate. It's been a while since its been played, so could do with setting up properly by the new owner.

Violin sound, good condition with Bow.

A Boosey & Hawkes Imperial Wooden Clarinet. Sold as a repair project, well worth saving, all as detailed below. All Corks / Pads present, they look to be in good order. Both of the above will need to be assessed by a Player.

Gallotone guitar in reasonable condition for its age, comes in original soft bag. A Gallotone was John Lennon's first guitar (and he didn't do so bad!) Not a musician but any questions please ask and I'll do my best.

This is a ten string mandolin with three strings for E and A and two for D and G. Carlos Rinaldi, NAPOLI. All the machine heads turn.

Case also as scuffs scratches, marks and wear.

Used and in fully working order. Good conditions

Working order but would benefit from a service as been in storage for the last couple of years...Woodwork , keys and tabs all as should be ..for some reason the bottom manual only works with that vibrato tab in the on position ...bass pedals all working as does the volume pedal ..has external jack socket so can be connected to amplifier..Not fitted with Leslie connection ..music stand on top ..

Vox bass Beatles cabinet. 4x12, no speakers Use to be mounted on a chrome stand, but over the years it has had things done to it, the back is now enclosed and a front ported put in and carrying handles and straps put on, needs a new front diamond cloth.. needs some TLC. Would look great in a Beatles tribute band

Looks to be in good order. Good Luck.

Hofner melodic professional 36. Vintage but seems in reasonable condition. Has mouth piece but looking at other examples is it missing air tube? I am certainly not familiar with instrument so no expert. Slight damage to cork seal but not serious. I can get sound out of it ok so it works. Discovered in the loft no idea where it came from but it's a fun little instrument to mess around with.

Serial number 17562. Not in playing order.

It has varnished wooden mahog. ends; 48 buttons and a 4-fold bellows. Brass reeds are quieter, and slightly slower to sound than steel reeds.

A VERY NICE ANTIQUE BRITISH 5 STRING BANJO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. Having looked on many sites I would guess this to have been made in the 1920s.

Harmonicas & Recorders Etc. Quantity 12. Signs of age & use.

CONDITION : Clearly the flute has been well used as it has scattered surface marks / scratches, a crack / break in the silver coloured ring at the wider, far end, and a split ca. 35mm long in the body material running away from the middle silver coloured ring.

Selling two vintage Harmony ukuleles. One with the standard Harmony label on headstock and the other with a 'Standard Approved' label on the inside of the body, according to research I did this appears to have been a label used by the Harmony brand for a period from the 1927- (approx.) . The Harmony labelled uke has some separation between the back and sides so needs a bit of glue and some new strings, otherwise is in good shape. The 'Standard Approved' uke has one fret wire missing on the last fret of the fretboard, and could use a set of new tuners as they don't work particularly well (if you want to replace the originals is a matter of taste), otherwise it too is in good shape. Everything is shown in the pics. Feel free to message with any questions:)

Beautiful orange coloured chord fan organ by Italian company Scala. Full working order. Wonderful sound. Includes legs and case. Could deliver to area within 20 miles of Sheffield for an additional £5. Otherwise it is collection only due to size.

Single row Hohner accordian. Made in Germany. Everything seems to work fine. No leaks in the bellows. Welcome to look before buying. From smoke free home. No case included but packaging will be appropriate to avoid any damage.

Cardboard box approx 4 inches by1 1/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches.metal corner strengtheners.shows wear .Not sure what was originally used for mouth piece or reeds maybe.

Carry case with its fitted interior also in top rate condition. The serial number 531384 which dates it to around the 1980’s.

Also known as a fan organ, a reed organ, and a Harmophone. HARMOPHONE - YouTube. This electric suitcase air organ functions well. Suitcase latches work great and case is nice and sturdy. It uses an electric fan to pump air through the reeds.
