Brannen flutes are also handmade from start to finish. I own a Brannen, and it set me back about $9500 (10+ years ago). You can customize everything about it, which only adds to the price. They're beautiful instruments, though.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Nice piece by Neil Gaiman on the Dresden Dolls: [link]

Fiancée.
I saw a wedding picture of them in Twitter somewhere. She was in bridal gear, but also made up as a statue, and they were on courthouse-like steps, with what looked like an officiant.
Still, I don't know if that means they're actually married yet or were just doing a cool photo.
