And it is being offered at a lower price than the one at John Alvey Turner and also with a best offer option. 

The 12 inch CE Concert Grand is also still at JAT. I am tempted. But I won't.  

Years ago, I lusted after a top tension banjo, specifically a Gibson RB-12. Then, I finally got to play several (even an 18)...they were very heavy and just not my cuppa. All that yearning went down the drain in 15min.

The Concert Grand would be nice, but the shipping costs would likely be astronomical. Talking Miz Diane into another banjo would not be a pleasant thing either!

I know I know. I have an 11 inch xx special (a pre-concert grand) and it is fabulous. A 12 inch one could sound 9% deeper and louder and better. But I am too old to be accumulating hard-to-resell things.
