My 'wish list' has, believe it or not, shrunk over the last few years, as I acquire instruments off the list. The majority of the time, they end up being neato curiosities (like the Yamaha SA-15, my former holy grail) but aren't 'everyday players' that justify the space they require in my modest home. So, with a good deal of regret, they are released back in to the wild to make their way to some other player.
