Or maybe a legacy for the grandchildren Leo. Why leave money for them to waste.

Aah, I see.
I hope there was no offence. Absolutely none intended!! My comment was meant to convey a little humour, given the French connection for the design/manufacture origins.
Can't improve on the comment by Scorpio. If I get to East Anglia sometime I will not be passing by.
As I said previously a pretty design for the 12th, and nice to have that personal touch.

Gary,
I really like the birds at the 12th, pretty, but shouldn't they have been French cockerels?

"Proper Job" as they say down south.
You should now be planning a trip to Samois next summer, where the Gypsies will give it a thorough running in.
Really enjoyable pilgrimage too.

Dave, I "wooden" believe it if you hadn't shawn us that video. Talk about selling sand to Arabs. Herb.

Martin I am no expert, and so much of course depends on your anticipated "investment" but I have seen some good reviews on a maker of the name Paco Castillo. I believe the company may have been formed by ex. Alhambra employees, but from my searches it seems there is much cloak and dagger going on as to the origins of many so called hand built classicals.

Hi Dawkins,
Just got through this thread which is so enlightening to all of us with this commom interest of music and performance. Great to hear of your progress which is giving you so much reward, and entertaining the rest of us. Of course the Pavarotties of this world need do nothing but sing and stand there; while others not so vocally gifted sometimes create a performance by what I like to call a stage presence. Something not so easily achieved I imagine while holding a guitar. However there is a classical guitar player that does the international rounds (whose name escapes me - Parvel or similar?) who contorts his mouth and facial expressions whilst playing in what sems to be intended to amuse. Whether that's the secret of his personal success I don't know but it seems clear there are those that can enhance a song or melody by something in addition. . That is not to say I undervalue what you are setting out to achieve. I look forward to hearing more about you journey.
