Well there is one thing i know about Wersi owners, they never change instruments... They stick to oas. And whil the abacus pro was much more expensive back then, people that bought one ten years ago are still very happy with it...
Even more interesting is that overhere in Holland, an upgraded abacus with the latest hardware ( which is cheap pc hardware) sells for almost the same price it was sold new about ten years ago.
But then they are very rare 2nd hand market, as noboddy sells theirs.
That's how it appears, Bachus, and, because the instrument has all the commonness of a Yeti, we can only rely on the skills and the willingness of our SZ'ers who own them, to show us, and let us hear why they hold on to these instruments for so long.
What better way to come to understand the instrument's lure, and subsequent staying power? Why not hear what it has done for the music of two very long term owners?
Have you ever played an Abacus?
Have you ever played any current Wersi instrument like the Pegasus?
