The sad thing though Bill is that the US is an untapped market for arrangers. All it takes is for one of these high end companies like Wersi and Bohm to get their team in check and produce a good western model. We may be on hard financial times.., but I'm willing to bet there's a large number of cats over here that would drop a few bills on something like a Bohm if the maker addressed the needs of the western market.

We keep hearing all the time that the US isn't an arranger market. Truth is WE ARE.., problem is that old school mentallity from these arranger makers. All it takes is for one company to do it.., do it right.., and the others will follow. The phrase "build it and they will come" seems appropriate. They'd make a hell of a tax right-off for the performing musician.
