Bach Strad on a budget

crash · 01-29-2007, 01:10 PM

Here is a ML 37 on Ebay that caught my eye. Do you guys have any input as far as the repaired crease in the bell. I have played several ML 37s and haven't found one I didn't like. Will that repaired bell cause some ploblems with the sound? Should I steer clear of this one?? Thanks for your input.

Thanks,

It really depends on how much the bell was rolled to remove the crease. I wouldn't want it if the bell was too thin in the repaired area. Unfortunately, you have to examine it in person to tell. When I looked, it was already over $600, so it may not end up as a great deal, anyway.
