Ian, the 65 is a great mechanical piano. It's the one you mentioned. This one is in excellent shape, so I'm keeping it for the center.
Dave-I'm going to work with a broker for the big stuff (high dollar). For instance, there are 23 L-5 Gibsons, a Fender Broadcaster, a 52 ES 295, a 75 Howard Roberts, a 62 P bass, a 64 Jazz bass, several pre1960 tele's and Strats, a double neck Robbin (Stevie Ray and Jimmie played Pipeline on one-25 total made in the world-Google it)., 335, 345, 355's; all from the 60's...the list goes on and on. Plus, there are pre-CBS Fender Super Reverbs, Bassman 50's, Ampeg flip-tops and more.
When I get those placed, I'll figure out what to do with the rest. There are lots of neat things in the collection, but I'd rather get the bulk of them placed before I worry about individual pieces.
I'll let you know.
