I can't compare that. Maybe in then years ...

The passage would be more expensive only for a pick-up. And family holidays 
aren't such easy with five persons.

Some thing you can't figure out, like the following:

I've got the description for that part now. For its a special acoustic amp, 
you can filter out special frequencies who often are resulting in a feedback. 
Never tried this at home before reading about it ;-)

Thanx for that answers.
MFG,
