Local preacher has it.  His mother had bought used from some local 
store it for him to learn on.  He was getting it tuned for his kids to 
learn on, and to the best of his recollection it hadn't been tuned 
since they bought it.

When he called me, I had never seen one of the things, and was thinking 
it was like the Yamaha.  Told him it should take about 45 minutes to 
tune it.  WRONG.

Has a really funky action too, with metal jacks.  Anybody know what 
you'd use to glue a piece of felt (or something) on one of those jacks 
going CLACK when it returns?  Can't say I've ever seen the material 
they used there.
