Dear Stuart,
Very good! The thing is one can easily see how people are beguiled by
such pictures: at a quick glance they look about right but it's only
when anyone who knows a smidgen looks at things like the high bridge
position and very shjort (and wide) neck that doubts would arise and,
of course, all this before actually seeing the quality of the work.
But I don't blame the artisans making such things but rather those who
design the instruments for them to make. It surely shouldn't be
impossible to get many of these basic features right and establish
decent quality controls. That way sales might increase very
significantly (even if prices had to increase a bit) and the poor
artisans paid more for their efforts.
Martyn

This instrument is on currently on ebay - possibly designed by Z.
Taylor. A snip at -L-450?
