Guest Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just found out that Don Gfell died in January. His shop in Milan was the best place in the world. https://obituaries.sanduskyregister.com/us/obituaries/sanduskyregister/name/donald-gfell-obituary?id=38720239 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melvind Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Don was indeed one of the nicest guys in our hobby. He did great work with his wood horns and was a master at bringing damaged horns back to life. I remember sending horn home with him from a Union Phonograph show. A year later I picked it up from him at the next Union show. Such a great guy. He and Bobbie will be missed at future shows. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcapra Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'll always remember Don as the guy with the front row reserved seat at the Stanton auction in Charlotte, MI. He gave me good advice when I bought an Opera and an Amberola 1A. I never went to his shop in Milan, but wish I had. If you don't know him, he's the man at the bottom of these photos at a Stanton auction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
