I'll try to record and post a sound clip this weekend--thanks for asking--

This rare instrument is currently available --

Is this instrument still available? If so, a recording would be very much appreciated (nothing fancy, a simple pluck of each string and a short strumming sample would serve well enough for my ears).

It is certainly a beauty.
