Well I would personally settle for an M4000, which I
think are about 5000 pounds ( not sure what that is in
dollars these days). I suppose having an original
historic instrument is worth something but how much
time would you spend playing it as opposed to trying
to keep it working? Speaking admittedly from very
limited experience, I don't think trons are like some
acoustic instruments, they don't improve with age. I
would value an instrument which sounds great ( the
M4000 does) and is reliable and doesn't need enormous
maintenance ( Well Martin did convince me of that )
