Upright German lady of advancing years.

What do you think ?.

She's German and well into her 40's, and I have to say the years haven't been too kind to her, she's a bit battered and worn at the edges to say the least.

She's big as well, and on the heavy side, but I reckon she's pretty cool.

Well you got that sorted out quickly - even if you never play a note, it looks great in the corner

Thanks, I can play All blues so far, so that's a start.

I used my tuner to work out where that notes are, and I've put some little bits of tape along the edge, I'll take those off one at a time over the next couple of days when I get used to playing her.

Thats beautiful. The back of the neck looks amazing, I can kinda see it in the reflection of the mirror. Is it like that all down the back of the body?

Superb, I'm jealous. I'd [i]love[/i] to try upright. Can't see it happening anytime soon though.

Beautiful Kev, really beautiful.
I so, so want an upright, but I'll have to do a lot of fiddling to convert it to lefty.
I'm so jealous.

They are brilliant, I'm just hiring it for £40 a month, but I can buy it any time, or take it back and swap it for a different one, they'll do all the set-up for you.
