My old knockabout Yamaha raised a whole village of teenagers. I'd leave it out of it's case on the sofa all the time and No. 1 son and his friends a would all get to use it.

It still sounds OK to this day. And it sounds REAL GOOD when an accomplished players get theirs hands on it.

Somewhat like that old story of the photographer and writer. The writer is admiring some of the photographer's pictures and comments "You must have a good camera". The photographer says "I've just read your latest book - you must have a good typewriter".
