I started with an Eko in 1974. It cost me £32 and I bought it from Bruce Millars in George Street, Aberdeen. I sold it about ten years later. Then I was in Sound Control in Kirkcaldy about 5 years ago and saw a second hand Eko ranger 6 for sale. I had my son with me and I was telling him about my one. My one, I said, had a varnish crack just below the scratch board. He pointed out that the one on show also had a crack. Yep it was mine. A happy end to the story? Naw, I never bought it. I play an Ovation Elite now and wouldn't part with it.
