musicianmom, my intent was not to stir up a kettle of fish with my instrument comment nor was it directed at either you or stringfollies.
My comment was made in the spirit of trying to aid the unintiated reader and plant a seed hoping that they investigate potential alternatives. Debate on issue of age or makers was not the purpose.
The levels of expertise and knowledge on this board range from the neophyte having no clue as to the processes involved in selecting an undergrad music program to active professional musicians trying to make an informed choice for their own kid.

It is never an easy task to purchase or sell an instrument and each person's needs and preferences are unique. You can certainly find quality instruments at a variety of price ranges - but the price ranges exist for a reason!!

I agree completely with your statement, but I will also add that not all the reasons are necessarily valid or scruplulous ones.
stringfollies, if my comment offended you, by all means let me know.
