HI Keith!
I suspect that you're right, but first off I've written to Thomann and wait=
to see what their reply is, and if it' worth the hassle; will update.
I was fascinated by your story of Thorpe Gardens, and it's given me the tho=
ught that I'll have to get over there sometime. It's a great piece of famil=
y history to have, and much more interesting that anything in mine!
Cheers
Max
