Now we’re talking, Dan! I have always thought the next tier of instruments would include Ellis (as you propose), Kimble (as Charles noted), and Duff (as Josh Levine will soon suggest). I have also seen, and nearly purchased, a Heiden at the top end of your budget within the last year and a used Red Diamond vintage A5 just above it. Let’s get shopping!
