OK folks, I have decided to take the plunge into yet another instrument. Forever I have sat and listened to others play this instrument and admired the "fat" sound of it. I have decided to jump in and pick one up. At this point I have decided that I really like the Freshwater Bouzouki made by David Freshwater in Scotland. They look good, they have a wonderful action, they come with electronics (which is important to me as I simply cannot play into a mic -- move around too much), and most importantly, they have a great sound. I love the edginess of David's bouzouki. So............talk me out of it, talk me into it, give me some insights on how to learn the technique of this wonderful instrument, insiders tips, if there is a better one for the money, tell me that too.

I await with bated breath...........

All the best,

Mick
