Mr. Musafia's note: Sebastian is presenting an instrument for the 2nd time with the 5th Cremona Exhibition.  His instrument this year, like last year, is nicely antiqued; it is coupled with an excellent sound and a very reasonable price.  I sincerely appreciate Sebastian's continued support of the Cremona Exhibition.
