Folks on the Forum know I'm a little nuts, but Sierras rawk! Mine gets a nice workout every morning and gigs as often as I'm willing to drag the thing around. That's been a lot lately. Here's another loving view:

Michael, that has to be the nicest Excel I've seen. Reminds me of the Kline which I also like but never owned. Funny the only price list I can find is in Japenese. 350,000 yen.

According to Google, 350000 Yen = 2944.8160 US Dollar. If that's correct, it sounds like a good deal to me.
