Agree with your sentiments. Also wonder how much the direction that music has taken has changed the musical instrument market. Now everything is ‘sampling’ and computer-generated crap. Not sure how many people care anymore about a pristine acoustic sound - from any manufacturer. There are clearly those out there who want a good Martin etc., but things have changed a lot.

The business reporter on my local news radio station said this afternoon that "companies have adjusted and figured out how to make money under these conditions."

So to answer your question, it may be a LOOOOOOONG time.

I just sold my Ovation. I had a Balladier for a long while. I learned to play years on an Applause. I now belong to the Martin Owner’s Club. There is nothing like a Martin!! Those words are so true.
