I agree with CliveyG about the magic powers. I saw one go on sale from a UU member in the U.S. and quickly snatched it up. When it first arrived, I was wowed by its beauty and craftsmanship but I didn't play it much because I was a bit embarrassed I had bought so hastily as I really didn't have the money and felt I didn't play well enough to deserve such a beautiful impulse purchase. Later I wrote Mr. Timms on UU about it wondering the rationale the neck was slightly thin compared to my vintage Martin, but I got no answer and it sat. Then one day I took it out to admire it and played it all day and it sang to me with its Worth Browns, so resonant. It is perfect and will never be sold. It is getting a bit beat up from all that play, adding character, I suppose. Almost everyday it is taken out, even if just for a few strums before I go to work if that is all I have time for, it makes me feel like I am taking care of myself! Very resonant for fingerstyle and great if strummed hard. If someone knows how to care for the finish besides wiping it down, let me know. I taught myself a fan stroke on it and the lower top bout took a bit of a beating while I was figuring it out. In my humble opinion, the Timms is better than my 3 martins. I have no need for another mahogany soprano and can't imagine ever selling it. UAS cured. I intend to play the hell out of it and someday it will be go to someone who will appreciate it the way I do.
