Thanks all. It sounds great, even though I have no idea how long the strings have been on it. UkeRepublic is getting me a case, and he played it two weeks ago. Tomorrow I plan to see him and he's prescribing strings for it as well.
I really do consider this one a rescue. The store had it "for rental only". They had a price on it of $85. It wasn't for sale, but that let them know what to rent it for, as a lot of their business is rentals to theater groups. I asked the lady, the original owner, what that meant it would rent for and she said $16 per week. Then I asked her please not to do that, because it was too special to take risks like that with it. She saw that I cared more for it than she did and asked me if I'd give her $100.
