Musical Instrument Auction

A comprehensive homage to vintage instruments, the Musical Instrument Auction offered by Alderfer Auction showcases over 50 separate pieces. The majority of these storied lots are still functional and in their original condition, a benefit for the avid collector. This auction crosses categorical boundaries: a 1970s Ludwig drum kit is the leading lot, with a sky-blue Gibson lap steel guitar following. 

Some items cross the digital auction block in groupings, including several banjo-ukes and painted ocarinas. The familiar shape of a trumpet reassures the viewer of musical durability, while forgotten mandolin harps, zithers, and pianolet offer an uncommon glimpse into the past.
