Three Alexanders available,
one brand new 5-valve, 6500
one c.1940 6-valve nickel silver, 4500
one c.1975 5-valve, 4500
all three are great Alex f's, the old 6-valve has the best sound character, the brand new one has the most consistent intonation (which you know is relative when it comes to german f's), and the 25-year-old one is the best compromise btw the other two!
I also have a 4-valve Karl Ziess-Cerveny, 1450, very unique sound and gets a lot of positive comments.
All in SF Bay, please e-mail off-line only for pics/info.
