It took me a long time to amass my little collection of boxes.. I started with Lachenal English - I've always thought that good Lachenals are among the sweetest sounding instruments around. But now I have Jeffries anglos and Wheatstone English, and I'll stick with them.

And Guran, yes, I have great affection for my own boxes. These days I won't promote any of today's producers more than somewhat, but I do tout good service and repair people. And Dick, not in this discussion, because it totally depends on where you live.
