FloraG, I think it's sour and uncharitable to come on a thread designed to help someone to raise money by an extremely generous gesture and disparage their efforts. Why do you have a problem with other people's open-heartedness? Thankfully, most people are not as mean-spirited as you and the response to Bill's appeal seems to be going well.

Personally, I feel humbled by what Bill is doing and I'm sure that his efforts will bring pleasure not only to the children he will be helping but also to the person who is lucky enough to win this superb guitar.
