    Roden DH-2

    So this is a challenge to myself..........basically do i need to pay £200 for a WnW model to get a half decent DH-2 on my shelf....? I loved the wing nut models, the detail and ease of construction, sharp mouldings and excellent instructions but i am not now prepared to pay through the nose...
