Hi Richard, I hadn't heard of the Lindner Grand! Was it made in Shannon too? As has been discussed on here before, the Lindner probably ran ahead of its time, in terms of the quality of plastics materials available in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With today's materials, they could probably have been pretty durable. I agree with you about the sound, and indeed the few that I have encountered over the years did have good tuning stability. Best regards, David Boyce. > I always come to the defence of Lindners even though certain aspects > eventually failed.
