There’s a nice Rudall & Rose 2528 on Ebay now, bidding ends 29th of January. Cocuswood 9 keys, padded Eb, 3 pewter keys C#, C and B, Jem notes there is a “Tromlitz lever extra touch for the thumb Bb”, cracked head joint near embouchure hole but not through it, barrel cracked rollers on bottom keys, silver keys, box, lid unattached - location Hampshire. starting bid £2000
Small holes version, I love that, but it is often unnoticed.
Christies sold nine key Rudall & Rose 3230 for £1,434 ($2,631), 3rd November 2004 ,and someone, Jim in Co. Clare, tried on DoneDeal Ireland to sell another nine key Rudall & Rose 2293 for €3,750 (£3186) (€4021) in July 2016. So £2000 isn’t a mad price
Looks like it ended unsold.
It was immediately relisted on Jan 30th but is now marked as sold (at the same start price of £2k), so the vendor must have taken a side offer on it.
