The Boston chapter AMICA meeting was held on Sunday at the home of the
late Alan Pier.  All of the instruments on the premises are for sale,
listed below.  Alan was a rebuilder in Billerica MA.

Acceptable price ranges are given, the highest bid presumably takes it.
Contact Dorothy Bromage at 508/670-1269 or at LFXU66A@prodigy.com to
place a bid or for details.  From what I saw and heard, they all play
as advertised!
