I've played a few of these, in Italy. Haven't seen them here in the USA. The ones I saw were good, solid, well-made instruments, and the Calace name might give you some resale value. But here in the USA, there are some good vintage instruments, if you know where to get them. I've been watching this one at Stutzman's for a long time, and somehow it's still there. They also have a Sakis, cheap. What's not to like?
