  • Thank you Sir.  That is truly a beautiful instrument.  It isn't often that something grabs me as hard as this did.

  • Hi Mike.

    Thanks for the comment. I would be delighted if you want to use any aspect of this design. If there is anything you would like clarification on, let me know.

    All the best.

  • Hi John.

    The box was on eBay. I bought it as a genuine one, but realised once I got it that it wasn't. Thanks also for your comment on the video.

    All the best.
