And I tell you, it plays great. This is a cheap Yamaha built between 1960 something and 1970 something. It looks to have an aged spruce top, and by records agithis sides/back(I may have spelled that wrong). It plays nice, stays in tune, is fun. It spent the past 12 years in a barn loft in its case. Needless to say it was dirty and had an ugly smell, but its come out of it shiny and neat. I'll post some pictures soon.

Thanks for the info Bob
Daryl
