Here is a Singer 29k leather sewing machine. It was bought in good working condition last year from a chandlers on the east coast of Scotland.I bought it for a winter project to make accordion straps, but never found the time to do it, so have decided to let it go to someone who will use it. It comes with a threading rod, and a comprehensive instruction manual.

Please note, due to size and weight, this is COLLECTION ONLY. Price = £135.

Here is a turkish Saz, complete with a soft padded (quilted) case which fits very well. It has tie on frets and the sound hole is in the bottom, which is usual for a saz. The condition is very good, no cracks, no separations, some very minor scuffs/blemishes in the varnish. It plays very well with the classic sound you just can’t reproduce on any other instrument. The tie on frets also give it the unique sound, as they are not in “western” intervals. The usual tuning is GG, DD, AA.

Length =32 1/2″. (83cm). Weight = 562g.
