This weekend, Skinner Auctioneers has a Musical Instrument Auction scheduled. We seldom miss one of these because Ed loves to see some of the classic guitars they have on offer.
He's always in the market for a great Martin guitar at a good price and auctions are one of the best places to find one. The preview days give him the opportunity to test play them and check their condition.
Penny loves to hear the tidbits of music as extremely talented musicians audition the instrument of their choice. Violins sing in the hands of a virtuoso who walks the floor with her own bow. Bows are tested on a master's instrument. Jazz riffs emerge from the booth that holds speakers to test electric guitars.
The auction itself begins on Sunday at high Noon at the Skinner Gallery located at 63 Park Plaza, Boston. (map) The previews are scheduled for Friday Noon to 7:00 pm, Saturday 10:30 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday from 9:00 am to 10:00 am.
In addition, Skinner is hosting a Classical and a Jazz concert at the gallery. Since the links in our screenshot won't work, here is a working set.
