I don't know thwe answer to Emperor Chief Poo-Bah Frank's question, but
I do know that a friend of a friend says that he once got a Birotron 'on
approval' and ended up sending it back whence it came due to the
degradation in sound that he had noticed after only two weeks' use.

Does this story sound plausible? I would have thought it odd that the
instruments would be given out in this manner. Or were sales so
disappointing that they would let them out on a trial basis like this?
