Have you checked out Paddy Burgin of New Zealand at http://www.burginguitars.co.nz/ ? He offers citterns beginning at S2540 (US dollars). I briefly tried out one of his bouzoukis at Swannanoa years...
I have a Hiscox mandolin case and like it very much, especially the amount of storage space. However, I do have a question (apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere).

I would recommend The Musician"s Guide to Reading and Writing Music by Dave Stewart.

I also have a Petersen Level 3 OM with a cedar top and koa back and sides. Once I got my Trillium cittern I considered selling the Petersen. I just couldn't do it. I still have them both.

Kilbride's cittern is a Stefan Sobell (www.sobellinstruments.com) spruce-and-rosewood five-course, tuned D A D A D...
Pat Kilbride's Rock and More Roses?

I have a Petersen OM (as well as a Trillium) and had a local Chicago guitar install a strap button on the lower heel. This was about four years ago and there have been no problems.
I had noticed that no new Petersen octaves or bouzoukis have come on the market for a while through its usual vendors (Elderly and Gryphon) and now the website is down.
