As I noted in my other thread, this video is what initially turned me on to these instruments (and made me aware that they even existed!):
It will be a while before I can play like this!
I feel so fortunate that I found this one available for sale. A local guy (a great guitar player!) was performing with a Weissenborn from the same builder at our local farmer's market last week. I got talking to him afterward, and it turned out he had this one that a friend (who turned out to be the builder) had loaned him, that his friend wanted to sell.
Good things can come from striking up conversations with total strangers sometimes!
