An umbrella? Luxury! We 'ad it tough - when I were a lad we didn't even know what an umbrella was. We 'ad to make do wi' a knotted hanky on us heads. Just the one, shared between Mother, Father and us 13 kids.  Keith Aye, it's geet posh, passed down from my dad who nicked it out of a cortina. Had it on antiques roadshow, worth a whopping £3.20 |

Hi Dave
Thanks for the detailed reply. I didn't even realise that it had a floating bridge... For what it's worth, it definitely doesn't sound nasally to me.
All the best
Marcus

Sorry I missed it's completion, but I saw this cracker in all it's chair-bound glory earlier on Facebook, so I hope you have great fun with this lovely beast, Leo, and congrats to Dave on such a handsome looking instrument.
Of course, the real test will come when I get to bash out a few verses of Wonderwall on it at Halifax...
