"The Madeline arrived today, sound and safe (seems only right to put it that way for a musical instrument!) Naturally, it's love at first sight (and first sound). Precisely what I was hoping for. Bravo! Many, many thanks especially for all your patient attention to my many questions and special requests. Thanks also for your affordability, promptness, and kindness."
