I got some info from the importer the other day backing  up what Doug posted this model sold in 1971 for about 30 pounds so it was comparable with models like the Eko Ranger it continued to 1980 and retailed at 85 pounds.more than double its original price  so taking into acount todays rate of inflation that would maybe equate to about 400  in todays market for a similar quality product.To answer Amys question it has a distinct resonance I'm playing with different  strings to  find what works best.As it has had a headstock repair at some time I'm being cautious asto how much tension I apply  but it sounds pretty good with a slide ,,the actions a little high compared to my Lag and Eko ,the tone is some where between the two ie brighter than the Eko  but not as bright as the Lag.I'll post a vid when I can

All sold now.

Nicely performed well done both of you

great  party  guys

Every thing arrived safe  ,all instruments checked and ok just need to house the contents of Pams library .I feel several book cases coming on.

Friends are  always  an option Phill ,I  brought my  Ovation on the  plane with  me  ,the  place  is  looking  smaller  already .Think  I'm gonna  have  a  sale. Miscounted  on the electrics  its 6

No  duties   Doug just  transport  and  insurance costs

Just  to  add my  view .I  prefer  the  old  view  but  I  understand  the need  for  change .Like  many of  my  generation   I don't  like  change  ,but  change  is  inevitable  so we adapt .

This was recorded very simply just basic chords

I play a bit of mandolin ,just a few simple chords ,I would suggest you get it set up as low as possible with extra light strings makes a big difference to your fingers.the chords are different to guitar but not bad to master the simple ones
