Alembics not coddled in cases and studios, but brought out and gigged with over the years. No "showcase" pieces, but working Alembics. Here is a 1981 Series I...a true "war horse"...

I'd love to see pics of the working Alembics."War Horse" is a little tired and worn to look at but plays and sounds like no other.I'm still as happy with mine as I'm sure you are with yours.

"Baby" is a beauty...old and used on a gazillion gigs. I have dabbled with the thought of a refin, but the thought of letting her grow old as she is always rules the roost. She has done a gazillion gigs, always performed, so like the old saying goes...if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Let us see some other giggin' Alembics!!! The "War Horses"!!!
