I have a lot of good experience with Herr Seibert and find that his instruments are ultimately playable and serve the purpose of an all around good HG. I have two of them and they are both of good consistent and durable quality. I found that the instrument played in all conditions and that they are in fact "tough as old boots". The price is right and the instrument is a great starting point for those that want to move toward the extra fine quality instruments or a great all around instrument for all occasions if you do not intend to play in a symphony. Mine have withstood multiple Ren Faires in the California heat with little to no change as well as a very cold evening out at the park with no change again. The sound is good and I can highly recommend this nice gentleman to any that are looking to get started. Scott P.S. his wife teaches English in the little town that they live in and she does what she can to improve his English so the help is there if you need it. If you can afford it or are in the country go see him at his shop it is a very nice visit.
