Bagpuss I can only re-inforce the Hobgoblin advice. We bought a Stagi ( maker of Gremlin and I think Hohner models) about 18 months ago. We have recently moved up to a Wheatstone (over £1,000 but out of this world!) and Hobgoblin are now selling our old one at a price not far from the original cost. If you are sure, go for the best you can. If not get what you can afford, learn to play it and move up when you can. Playing in a band with the old one helped us earn the money toward the new one. Hope you find what you are looking for! Baz
