The quality of manufacture is superb! (German engineering at its best!)(Should that be Craftsmanship?) The tuning pegs appear very modern with what looks like metal inserts. I'm impressed with how well they stay tuned. Only 74 strings to tune! (A bit different from guitars). I'm grateful someone else has fitted all the strings very neatly. Now all I have to do is develop my technique. A well fitting thumb pick is really essential to play this instrument (as I discovered) and although one is provided it would not fit my thumb at all.

I Must learn a lot more about the instrument though if I have time! Its a great instrument and even if you aren't well versed in it I find it meditative in any case. Have already played it in a recording and it worked good against my bouzouki.
