I could tolerate owning a Stefan Sobell Bouzouki, a 1930 Martin OM 28 I played long ago at The Guitar Shop in Wash. DC, The large Greven I played the same day or Mark Twain's 1835 Martin, I believe it's model # was 2 1/2- 17. There was a feature story on the latter on NPR's All Things Considered and it sounded magnificent. You can find the audio at npr.org in their archives. Sorry I don't remember the specific address.Frankie
