Yup, that's what I paid (and, probably, where I paid it -- Gryphon?), and that $630 was a reasonable price for a first-class but not over-the-top instrument was the impression I had as well. Thanks for backing me up, M.Ted, and for your kind thoughts, Purple Foxx! And I will take you up on that tips offer, M.Ted, once I've learned my way around the fingerboard some. I spent hours last night running scales and noodling on morris tunes, and facility is coming. The interesting thing, I suspect, is what musical direction it's going to push me in. I'm at a crossroads anyway..... Tell me, what kinds of music do play with yours? Claire
