Envious of your visit!
I briefly played an Eastman MD-315 at a small Missouri music store a few months ago and I definitely was impressed. (My response was, "Whoa! That sounds good!" The salesman smiled happily and nodded his agreement.) The MD-315 had dark, woody sound that I would never have expected from such a relatively inexpensive instrument. At the time I was focusing on a couple of used Kentucky 600 series instruments, but I wish I had spent more time with the 315.
