Mickey... Thank you very much for your excellent advice I requested regarding bouzoukis. The Morgan Monroe arrived earlier than expected and in excellent condition. Having moved from classical guitar into the mandolin family, the bouzouki has obviously been a natural progression. The bouzouki has responded nicely to my fingerstyle technique. I must share with you... My son, a saxophone player, and I, found ourselves in the midst of the same Bach bouree. I think Bach would be pleased with the atypical, but very pleasant sound, of bouzouki and saxophone. Again, thank you for your insight and encouragement. I look forward to further musical exploration and will certainly include FOTW as a resource and guide.

                                                                                                              Thank You !
