And to wind up the whole story, I mentioned the classical guitar my MIL bought for her husband 30 years ago. It too was from the Quebec luthier. When he died, she told me he wanted me to have it. I thanked her and asked if it could remain in her house so I could play for her from time to time. When she went into care a year and a half ago, the classical came home with me and although I use the Yamaha when I play for the residents, a few times I have taken my FIL's old guitars to do private 'concerts ' for her. It is the least I can do for her and his memory.
Come to think of it, at the moment it is tuned to open G. I blame it on the Stones.
