I just purchased a Gigliotti P facing myself...my teacher had me try one
of hers...coninsidently it was 10 years old, when i attmepted to find one
the P facings, believe it or not were almost unplayable..i ended up
getting a used P facing about 7 years old, and it plays beautifully, i
couldn't imagine myself on anything else.
