I'd like to thank enzo for warning me about the possibility of addiction...
I had spent about 18 months looking for my first Alembic. I'm in Vancouver, Canada, and Alembics up here aren't very common, so I was glad to find one I wanted, even though it was in Florida, at the opposite end of the continent.
So after shipping my prize across the country, I had it about a week before I found its five string koa sister (93K7668 and 93K7699) on Craigslist, just a half hour drive from home. A bit of negotiation, and I now have a matched set... probably even from the same tree!
