I am pleased to announce that I am now the new publisher and owner of THE RED BOOK, Auction Price Guide of Authentic Stringed Instruments and Bows. Publication resumed in January 2006.
For the last 30 years I have tracked and analyzed auction data as a way to give my customers accurate appraisals and to personally keep informed of market values. Now I have the opportunity to expand my work through this inclusive and well-established publication. Under my stewardship, THE RED BOOK continues in its tradition as a great analytical tool responsive to the needs of the professional instrument dealer and, as always, a great reference guide to our specialized market of violin family instruments.
