ebay listings are often a good source of information on instruments. Descriptions here are usually entered from eBay listings only when we have contact with the seller, or photos of serial numbers etc are entered. We usually only list thumbnail images for eBay auction instruments unless we recieve explicit permission from the sellers to use the full-sized images
