She is a reverend, and cannot afford to light campfires with $100 bills at all.   I’d appreciate comments on this from people who know about technical stuff, but who also know if a square in 21<sup>st</sup> century really might be a viable instrument to a person who is not going to be a high level performer, specializing in Period Music.   Thanks, <o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>Les bartlett<o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </span></font></div> </div> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
