“It was great to see so many new faces at the viewings for the February auction and also great to see European friends there as well. The superb Turin Guadagnini was a crowd pleaser as was the Amati in mid-restoration. I often judge the success of our sales on the number of lots which soar above their estimates and the February auction had more eager and aggressive bidding than any in recent memory.” – Jason Price
