Anyone played one of these? What do you make of them? Someone I know has one for sale.

Yeah I know Mossy's spouse plays one, but I'm guessing that's inflated their value a bit. They certainly look nice.

I played one once. I don't remember anything about it, other than it wasn't crap.

Yes, my mate has one... it's a bit of a dog really but it hadn't been looked after very well.

If your music suits this kinds instrument then i don't see why not but it didn't feel very conventional to me. Kinda reminded me of the old Japanese Kays and the like. Not the most substantial instruments going for todays Quality / Sound.... and lot's to go wrong !!

My views might be heavily hindered by the fact the one I tried was in need of TLC, and a long time ago when I played it.
