1. I am sure that Ivor Mairantz in London used to sell Morris. 2. John Mayall the UK electric bluesman used to use a 9 on stage - electric. 3. We have a relatively frequent visotr to our club www.hazlittfolk.co.uk (site may not be up yet, but it is paid for) called Nino who plays sort of jazzish stuff on a 9 (acoustic)and it is clearly factory made, but I can't remember the name of it.
