Well, I have mixed feelings. It's not *bad*, and it's certainly worth what I paid for it, but if I'd have been able to try it out in person first I think I would have passed on it and saved my money for something else. I'm not a fan of how it sounds in person—it's duller and quieter than my old, smaller bayan—and the bass hand strap is too tight. I have to adjust the knob until there's only one or two threads holding it in and it's still too tight.

Ah, well. It plays okay and does still have some plusses. Maybe it will grow on me. I just wish it was easier to find B-system CBAs here so I didn't have to gamble with online purchases.
