It looks vaguely like one of those Russian 70s jobs, but prettier.
I bought a Vester 5-string from a bloke in South Wales; paid him extra to send it Parcelforce, because he wanted to use myHermes and I have no faith in them at all. He sent it by myHermes anyway. Tosser.

I admit that was a slight exaggeration... sadly all that teaching hasn't improved my playing much :|
I don't need to go busking, we just thought it might be fun. And it would let us play stuff we want to play, instead of stuff the band wants to play.
(Is it inappropriate somehow to go busking if you don't need to?)
Thanks to all for the advice
