My eldest lad, Gnome the Junior #1, has a Yamaha something or another with active electric thingies - it sounds great to me and plays, to an untrained garden ornament, very nicely indeed. One of our club residents, aka Spot the Dog hereabouts, plays and swears by 'Yammies' as well.

In the words of 'The Folker' (The boxer)

To the rhythm of an off key Japanese one string thached guitar. Yamaha.
Yamaha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
