Vintage Kay Acoustic
I know, she's kind of craptacular, but I like the double pick guards. It looks like it's wearing a little tuxedo. My pretty little Kay wall hanger ... that isn't hanging on the wall.

Rag Time Music Machine
This piano is practically solid brass on the inside. The date stamped in that brass is 1895, and we still play this thing! Got it for $450, and what a bargain that was! Almost the same price as the camera!

Goya T 14 (1967) Serial #355614
Taken from a Harmony Central User Review:
"Made in Sweden in 1967 by the Goya company -- imported by the Levin company. Hagestrom also imported using the Goya name during this time -- but this one is actually a Goya made by Goya.
It has an Alpine Spruce top with polished mahogany back and sides, white double binding, a rosewood fret-board and bridge, and a bone nut and saddle. The tuners are covered and a unique shape I have only ever seen on this guitar and in the Goya catalog.
It is a "Concert Size" which means it is slightly smaller than a standard dreadnaught, but larger than a parlor size. It has a full scale neck.
It is finished with a french polish (shellac) that has mellowed nicely.
A pretty but unassuming little instrument.
Absolutely fabulous sounding guitar. Woody, mellow, throaty. Perfect for either blues, blue-grass, or folk guitar. Sounds like hot-chocolate in front of a raging fire. The closest I have experienced was a Martin from the 1930's.
The sound is its best feature -- what else really matters? Oh -- I know what else matters -- I didn't have to spend thousands on a vintage martin to get the sound. <> I'll probably pass it on just like I pass on all guitars -- gotta keep them circulating ..."
