Natai, Tom, and Ron,

I really enjoyed your comments.

Tom, I actually have several TR 147s in a closet and those are the really back, backups. They do play very well and the cost for each was so low. I am a great fan of Tom's work as well as his wonderful, whimsical persona.

Nitai, i hear ya' with the "it was sitting there" comment. I sold off my R13s a long time ago and never really looked back. A great instrument but the Yamaha's seem to have wonderful ergonomics as well as some excellent musicality.

BTW, I have a YTS 475 tenor that gives up nothing to my very fine Mark VI. The difficulty we face with getting rid of classical instruments seems to be mostly emotionally based.

My wife says "buy the new Yamaha and keep the old one" so I guess I'll do exactly as she has instructed!
