For Sale
#13, copy of Domenico Busan, 1749
This is the second copy of the Busan that Jeremy McCoy played in the Metropolitan Opera.
The back and sides are Black Cherry that I sourced locally about 30 years ago.
The top is slab-cut Eastern White Pine that was floor boards salvaged from a house in Greenwich, New York. The house was built in 1785. It is a two-piece slab top, as is the original Busan.
The string length is 41-1/2″.
Chromatic C-extension with brass hardware manufactured by Josh Ward of Kingsbury, New York.
The cherry scroll is grafted onto a Sugar Maple neck.
The varnish is an old-world recipe that I cooked.
#13 is for sale at JD Hill Music in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. The asking price is $35,000, which includes a padded case.
