Well actually Im an Aussie, but been living in Prague for past 8 yearsh, happily.

My suggestion would be to visit Brno and the main Furch showroom, but then spend a few days in Prague as Brno is nice but its a smallish provincial city, while Prague is simply the most beautiful city in Europe in my humble opinion. There is also a Furch dealer 5 mins from my house in Prague, drop me a line when youre in Prague and we could roadtest a few together.

cheers.

And do you have any general tips/advices to a tourist visiting Czech for the first time? I’m also very glad that Furch and Czech generally can provide me with such well built instruments for a reasonable price – one of the main reasons beside the quality and sound that I’ve chosen to buy a Furch guitar is to support the “European economy”, how silly that may sound, I think it is important to not just throw your money after a guitar produced in Asia, but to support Europe(especially now in times of Recession) I see no reason why I shouldn’t use that extra bit of money and travel down and see under exactly what conditions my instrument is made under.
