wow, that's sad to hear. I've owned 3 Reiters thru the years, and they were all well built upon receipt-I did have to set them up to my own preference.

I wonder whats happened.

I will tell you that for many of us, we tend to know we have to make some changes over the way a Reiter is received-many folks change heads, tailpiece, to get the tone they want out of them. I tend to find them too harsh sounding initially, and always put a fibersky top on, that takes care of most of the overtones, then adjustment of said top to get the tone I want from it. Usually put a snuffy smith bridge on mine, and I like daddario string sets. many folks change out the tailpieces, but I've usually kept the nonknot on mine.
