Good Bye Morgan Monroe

April 3, 2006 at 7:51 PM

Just put my Morgan Monroe Bean Blossom up on E-bay it closes in a few hours. I'm amazed at my lack of remorse at seeing it go as I replace it with the Russian Style Violin.

I really did not care for it as it was Korean, factory made and glaze coating on the neck.

I wonder if I'm becoming a Violin Snob :)
