That's a funny list of music venues and professional grade musical
instrument shops.
You're what, about 40 miles from Boston? How often do you drive into
Boston to see live, top-drawer professional musical performances? Once
every two years?
When I lived in Albany, we drove over to Lenox at least three times
one summer. The Julliard String Quartet is playing there later this
month...are you going? I would if I lived where you do...what is it, a
two hour drive?
I actually saw two Maldonado guitars for sale in a local music
instrument store in the DC some years ago. Got anything like that at
your shoppe? Armik plays a Maldonado...ever even *hear* of either, up
there in Duxbury?

Sorry to break your heart, but yes, I have heard of Maldonado guitars
and am familiar with the history of them. You see, I've done some
research on guitars including the purchase of two comprehensive
encyclopedias dedicated to guitar brands, types, manufacturers and their
histories. I study them just about daily.
That said, I'd have no reason or purpose to buy and inventory a
Maldonado. It would collect dust.
My budding music shop business is geared towards a range of instruments
of interest to the majority of people, not an elitist, narrow minded
snob who turns his nose up to anything that does not meet *his*
standards. You know. Normal, decent people. I also desire to offer
decent instruments that are affordable. Currently the most expensive
guitar in my inventory is a mint, 2006 Martin HD28V. It is a vintage
series Martin, built to the pre-WWII Martin D-28 specifications. I
acquired it and another guitar from a professor (jazz composition) at
the Berklee College of Music in Boston who I had met for another reason
about a year ago. He and his wife visited our home in Duxbury Friday
and we enjoyed a couple of hours discussing guitars and music in
general. You see, we also have access to some cultural influences. We
are just not snobs about it.

My questions were not about your music shop.

Herr Krause. It is known that your questions [and answers] are quite
irrelevant concerning any subject.

Harry is known for being able to twist the writing of a sentence or
paragraph so that regardless of how you respond he has room to swing
either way.

I don't know you you directly engage him in discourse? He is just
looking for a fight.
