Please, please put something in the SUBJECT line. I nearly deleted your message not realising it was HG related. I have probably done so with others you have sent, sorry. I'm honestly not impressed with EMS. I think they have a gang of monkeys putting the stuff together (at least my dulcimer, anyway). There have been many posts on a budget HG (look through the archives) but, you must remember, there is no such thing as a cheap HG. They take so long to make, if it's cheap, it's no good.A budget model from a reputable maker, however, that's a different story. It's £800 - £1200 for a budget job, If you are looking at cheaper, you are not going to get a good HG or you will be needing to do a lot of work on it as it will be broken or badly damaged and repairs take a LOT of skill. If your budget won't reach this, keep saving - it's worth it. You could think symphonie, of course. They rend to be cheaper and give you the sound. Colin Hill
