I can't say what the instrument is worth, but I seem to remember that the bore size is incredibly small, around .610 or so. The last time I played one I was impressed. I was expecting it to play terribly, but it was easy to play, the intonation wasn't horrible and the sound was pretty good. I couldn't project at all on it, but for what it was originally intended, I had few complaints.
