Two or three made each year. It plays and sounds as it looks. How rank have you been playing for? Since I was about 10 or whatever. This would be the most expensive, a £149,000 for anyone in this country. Is the price any negotiable? Well... Compared to the most affordable. How much are we talking about here? The price of this, 4,950, the Chinese built. In terms of the value for money aspect, Good you? We're sure that we can make that happen. F. Two doors down. To E. To A. The live piece.
