I knew and studied with Phil Tafoya back in the 60's. If you would like to contact me I would be happy help.

Are you aware that you're responding to a post from 16 years ago?

Nil,

Lately, many of the newsgroups that I read have begun receiving responses
to "very old" posts. I've never bothered to check whether these old posts
are real or fictional. I presume the letters are from some sort of bot.
Mildly annoying.

I've seen a bit of that, too. If they're bots, I can't imagine what
their prime directive is. In this case, it appears that the OP is a
real person, though according to Google they haven't posted since 2010,
and never to Usenet. Maybe this person has somehow stumbled out of
their element.

Authorship of these resurrected threads varies. I'm guessing some kind
of glitch in the archiving/retrieval software.

That would have been funnier if you had waited 16 years and *then*
posted it...

guitar needs to find this post.)

So what's 16 years. Phil Tafoya. Rainer Ave just south of Renton Ave. Little shop. I always thought he was a great guy. His dad built guitars. Phil told me he didn't have his dads knack for hearing the wood sing. So he did not build them from scratch. This was in the mid 70s. We thought Phil was the Martin expert in Seattle.

Can you help me?
I have the opportunity to buy what I believe is an old Martin
guitar. It is stamped "C.F. Martin, New York" on the inside. Model 2 1/2
- 18 and is Rosewood. It has ivory keys and brass gears. The guitar was
restored on 10/6/72 by "Mr. Tufoya, Seattle".
Can you tell me from the information I have stated if it sounds
original and what its value might be? A knowledgeable person expressed
to me he thought that it was made between 1850-1873.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Charles Versteege

I don't know but Phil Tafoya was a respected luithier in Seattle. Had a little shop in Rain her Beach. I imagine Phil passed away in the late 80s. He did work for me (neck reset) and I treasure the sticker he put on my case.
