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.
