For sale is an absolute RARITY for fellow guitarists or collectors:
BUSATO Grand Modele, Mod.44, Bj. ca. 1942/43
This old Gypsyjazz Guitar has been built in the workshops of famous luthier Barnabe Busato, approximately around 1942/43. Busato-Guitars are besides the famous Selmer- and Favino-Guitars the most sought after Gypsyjazz Guitars (see also here)
To judge by the details of the guitar the tailpiece and the tuners have been changed. Apart from this the guitar remains in a rather original state (no new laquer or else). This guitar has been per-owned by Gypsy-Rhythm-Legend Titi Bamberger for some years.
Price: 10.500.-€ (or best offer) + shipping

Jacques Favino (1920-1999) is known as one the most famous and remarkable luthiers of old Gypsyjazz guitars besides SELMER, BUSATO and DiMAURO. Othe than the sicilian luthier mentioned, which mostly crafted kind of SELMER Guitar copies, Jacques Favino created a very different and unique sound of his instruments.

In December 2021 i already had reported about it here: my Solo-Album "Bertino - just guitar -" whih has been recorded in Frankfurt in the Redlight-Studios of Stefan Varadopolus, has been released finally.Regrettably it took very long to clear the rights of the songs. But now the album will be able to be released as cover-versions.
Ten covers, this time no originals as on my album "Rêve de Samois", but pure covers of well known Jazz-tunes such as "All the things you are" or classics like "Night and Day" will be on.
This album represents parts of my solo-program with the same title. The release date is not clear yet, but will be spring 2023. Stay tuned :)
