* a BOB DYLAN Hohner Marine Band Harmonica, Key of D Hohner Harmonica in the key of D, with approximately a 1” square of textured opaque white tape in the middle of the top of the harmonica with the Key inked on in magic marker formerly owned by Bob Dylan. This is how Bob had his harps marked so that he could readily see the key he needed while on stage, or in the studio as Hohner identifies the key of each harp with only a tiny 1/8” impression of the key into the end of the harp, extremely difficult to see in normal circumstances let alone during a session or a concert. This one was purchased by me from a friend, who was given it as a gift by one of Dylan's techs both of whom I know personally.

Before After .....
We often get asked "where do these guitars come from" ??? or "who buys these things" ??
So here's an interesting picture of the quite rare White ES-345 (that we had for sale for about a year) with both it's original ( c. 1964), and current (April'06) owners.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE VIEWING THESE PHOTOS, SEE BELOW
Some have complained about bad pictures. If this is happening to you or your PC, let me know. We have Macs and the pictures are large and clear, so we'd like to know figure out why this problem is happening
An answer from my brother Rick-
By default, Internet Explorer will shrink pictures to fit onto one screen. That's probably what people are complaining about. Usually, if they hold the cursor over the picture for a few seconds, a button will appear and they can click it to restore the pic to full size. I hate the feature, so I just turn it off and always see the photos full-size:
From the IE menu bar, click Tools | Internet Options
Click the Advanced tab
Scroll down to the Multimedia section
Remove the check from "Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
Click OK to save settings
For you who don't know, we do all manner of guitar repair and restoration. We do most of it here but also give some work to Dom Ramos -repairing and building since working in Dan Armstrong's shop in the '60s. We've also been a Martin Warrantee Center since 1985 before Martin closed down all 5 NJ Centers because of a tax dispute between NJ and Martin Political sentiments Turn back before it's too late!\\ UPDATED JULY 16 https://www.facebook.com/reel/685997670609240 AND THIS TOO- https://www.facebook.com/reel/1440054026935399 and this- https://www.facebook.com/reel/3623986564575308 by David Horovitz, Editor of Times of Israel 2/11/26 It’s not remotely surprising that President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia is being met with protests by “pro-Palestinian” activists falsely alleging Israeli genocide in Gaza. After all, “pro-Palestinian” activists in Australia, and pretty much everywhere else on the planet, have been demonstrating against Israel’s resort to war from almost immediately after Hamas invaded southern Israel from a Jew-free Gaza Strip, massacred some 1,200 people amid unspeakable brutality, abducted 251 to Gaza, and vowed to keep on killing Israelis until the world’s only Jewish-majority state is destroyed. These are not demonstrations regarding Israel’s prosecution of the war, or focused on the pro-annexation policies of a hawkish Israeli government, by activists genuinely concerned for the well-being of non-terrorist Palestinians and noncombatants in any and all conflict zones. Rather, these are concerted protests transparently designed to demonize and delegitimize Israel and Israel alone, in its entirety and its essence — to render Israel a pariah state with which no decent country should interact in any field, to deny it not only the right to defend itself but the weaponry and practical capacity to defend itself, and thus to aid Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime in their declared mission to wipe us out. So the demonstrations against Herzog’s visit are anything but surprising. But they are particularly revealing, horrifying and despicable. Anti-Israel protesters gather in front of a police station in Surry Hills in Sydney on February 10, 2026. (Saeed KHAN / AFP) Twenty-seven months of orchestrated global activism have relentlessly spread a narrative in which the Jewish state, uniquely, can do no right, and calculatedly created a bedrock of empathy and support for regimes, terrorist groups, and individuals who seek to murder and maim Israelis and Jews wherever we are found. And in that deliberately created climate of murderous hostility, in Sydney, Australia, on December 14, 2025, father and son Islamic extremists Sajid and Naveed Akram massacred 15 people at a Hanukkah party on Bondi Beach. This was not a case of direct cause and effect. Naveed had links to a pro-Islamic State network in Australia dating back to 2019. But you might have wanted to believe that the deadly and terribly predictable turn of events in Australia would have given the country’s “pro-Palestinian” activists pause. The victims of the December 14, 2025, Sydney Hanukkah terror shooting: top row (left to right) – Reuven Morrison, Rabbi Yaakov Levitan, Dan Elkayam, Alex Kleytman, Rabbi Eli Schlanger; middle row (left to right) – Edith Brutman, Peter Meagher, Tibor Weitzen, Marika Pogany, Matilda [last name withheld]; bottom row (left to right) – Tania Tretiak, Boris Tetleroyd, Adam Smyth, Sofia and Boris Gurman. (Composite: Times of Israel; Images: Courtesy/social media, used in accordance with Clause 27a of the Copyright Law) Fellow Australians were gunned down on the beach for being Jewish. Now, the president of the nation-state of the Jewish people is visiting to try to bring the devastated Jewish community a little solace and comfort. And the protests are targeting him? You might have wanted to hope that, if there were to be demonstrations to coincide with Herzog’s visit, they would have been held to demand that the Australian government take more effective measures to protect the Australian Jewish community, that it take more effective measures to tackle the ongoing stream of antisemitic attacks, that it take more effective measures to prevent the dissemination of hate materials online. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, right, and his wife Michal Herzog, second right, visit Bondi Beach, where two Islamic terrorists killed 15 people at a Hanukkah event on December 14, 2025, in Sydney on February 9, 2026. (AP Photo/Rick Rycroft) In truth, you would not have expected anything of the kind. We all know better than to be so naive. But that’s what should have been happening on Herzog’s visit. For that matter, those “pro-Palestinian” activists who purport to care for innocent lives, in the Middle East and beyond, should also have been out on the streets demonstrating on behalf of the people of Iran, who have been risking their lives — and losing them in the thousands if not the tens of thousands — to try to bring down their repressive, misogynistic, warmongering Islamic death cult leadership. These were innocent people ruthlessly massacred by their own oppressive government, to widespread international indifference. Anti-Israel protesters gather in front of a police station in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia, on February 10, 2026. (Saeed KHAN / AFP) But, of course, in Australia as pretty much everywhere else on the planet, the “pro-Palestinian” activists are not actually “pro” freedom for Palestinians, or Iranians or anybody else, nor “pro” the right to live peaceably, in safety, under humane leadership. They claim to be opposing ostensible genocide by the Jewish state. In fact, they are seeking to enable the destruction of the Jewish state, and championing the mass murder of Jews — even, if not especially, because it has been unfolding in their own country. 10/16/25 From "The Tablet" What are the cool kids chanting these days, what with “ceasefire now” being, like, so three days ago? We hardly expected a “Thank you, president Trump!” or a “good job there, Bibi.” We’re not crazy. But it’s the fall, and the leaves are turning colors, and everyone is enjoying pumpkin-spice-everything and dreaming about the holidays, so we hoped that maybe we’d get just a few days of basic human decency focused on sentiments like “let’s rebuild!” or “time to heal!” or “gee, it’s sure good to see the hostages back home with their loved ones.” Forget it, Jack—this is Palestine, and the cool kids have a new war cry: “Death to all collaborators.” That chant ain’t theoretical: it’s praising the very real murders of very real Palestinians, executed in the streets of Gaza by panicky Hamas terrorists in the aftermath of Trump’s deal. Just who’s doing the chanting? That would be our pals over at Students for Justice in Palestine, or SJP, America’s premiere “pro-Palestine” organization. You know SJP, right? Zohran Mamdani sure does: He founded the hate group’s local chapter at his alma mater, Bowdoin College. We know what you’re thinking: Don’t be mean! Just because someone supported something in college doesn’t mean he supports it still! I mean, it’s college, and people do stupid things in college, like grab that eighth beer, or hit on their TA, or pledge allegiance to a genocidal group dedicated to getting Jews thrown off campus, the Jewish state destroyed, and the American “empire” eradicated, by any means necessary. You know, exuberant, youthful stuff! But hard as Mamdani may try, he just can’t quit hatin’ on the Jews. This week, his own wife, the artist Rama Duwaji, took a break from her constant stream of anti-Israel screeds to post a mournful note bemoaning the death of Sale al-Jafarawi, killed this week by Palestinians in Gaza. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps you know al-Jafarawi by his nom de bullshit, Mr. Fafo: As Liel Leibovitz wrote in Tablet two years ago, al-Jafarawi emerged as perhaps Hamas’s most effective propaganda artist. He died on camera several times only to be miraculously reborn the very next moment, sired a (plastic) baby and lost it in (fake) Israeli air raids, posed as a doctor and a patient and a foreign correspondent and a combatant, always grinning widely because the grotesque, obvious lying was precisely the point. “Why do we love him so?” Leibovitz asked. “Why has he become the subject of so much attention, on social media and in the press?” The answer, he argued, was as simple as it was searing: Because he is the pure embodiment of a greater truth: We live in an age that has progressed beyond rational argument. It should be obvious by now that so many of the creeps who purport to weep for Palestine don’t really care about Palestinians, dead or alive, or about Israelis, or about the historical and moral intricacies of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What they want is an excuse to indulge in something deeper, more libidinal, ancient, and indeed erotic—hating Jews. They cheer for #MrFAFO not despite the fact that he’s so obviously faking it but precisely because of it. His performances promise liberation from the annoyances of a fact-based reality whose contradictions are inherently troubling, and instead affirm that old motto coined by Hasan-i Sabbah, the 12th-century founder of the Hashashin, or the Order of the Assassins—nothing is true, everything is permitted. That this is the person the very likely next first lady of New York City mourns as her “beloved” is troubling. Just ask the young New Yorkers who opened their hearts to TV writer Yoni Weinberg this week, telling stories of how former friends and fellow progressives turned on them the moment they dared supporting Israel, and wondering whether it was time to get out of Dodge. “When I saw Mamdani win, it was really difficult,” one film director told Weinberg. “I spent time in Paris growing up and experienced hardcore antisemitism there, so I know what it looks like outside America. To see that kind of hatred reach the one place that, in my mind, was safe from it is too much to bear. It breaks my heart.” Is your heart breaking, too, when you see the largest Jewish community outside Israel littered with vile anti-Semitic slogans and about to be seized by a Third World blowhard terror enthusiast? We have the perfect prescription: Pack your bags and run right up to the Magic Mountain. As David Mikics writes in Tablet today, Thomas Mann’s classic, itself now the subject of a brilliant new book-length study, is modernism’s most humane novel, a masterwork that has a thing or two to teach anyone wondering why seemingly normal people become engrossed by absolutely crazy ideas.(All prices subject to change, up or down!)
