How on earth does that strap button work on the upper horn?

Like on most of Leduc basses and it's a quite clever place for having the bass in the perfect playing position as you can pass the strap on the front to have it in belly position or on the back to have it in skinny position...

Mm.  Suspicious, for sure.  Why wouldn't you sell it for the higher price?

[Newfoundfreedom]

Doesn't look particularly suspicious to me. What makes you think it's a scam? 

[TheGreek]

As @alyctes suggests why would you sell it for half the market price...

[Hellzero]

This is not a Japanese model, so it's really worth the asking price not much higher...

Well he does say in the description that it needs tuning. That obviously brings the value down quite considerably.

[TheGreek]

He's not clear if it's just one string or all four...

Buy this - it’s worth double if you flip it.

That was intended to be ironic, btw. 🙂
