Thanks Ned, that's one spelling option I hadn't tried!
I haven't much information on the guitar, a friend of a friend is selling it, although I understand it has had some repair work, I'm told it plays beautifully.
With less well known makers it's hard to know what a fair price is and ultimately I know I will have to trust my ears but it's reassuring to know that I'm not alone in thinking this sounds like a bargain.
