This and the music it made are the kind of things Europeans were creating and building in 1705.

Alarms going off.. Might smart people have been faking these things since they were being made..
Needs copious inspections..

The article indicated that a similarity dated (1705) instrument by the same maker sold at a recent auction for about US $700k. Images shown indicate this one needs some restoration work. So, in its present condition, maybe US $650-600k?

[freemama]

What a find! I hope it finds a player and isn’t held in a museum somewhere.

[Mathews]

Yes! Yes it does!
