It's a bit on the black side for me, but that's just me being traditional (I like wood ). I should think it's really, really nice to play. Not in my reach, I fear.
These are lovely. I've got an orange one and a fretless (reboarded) in blue; my favourite basses. Nylon-wound strings go well on them
Why Yamaha stopped building them I've no idea.

That must mean there's some sort of problem...

I think you are supposed to rest the section with the controls on your leg classical guitar style.

Ah, OK. I can sort of see how that might work. Thanks.
I dislike Flying Vs quite a lot. Oddly, that doesn't seem quite as objectionable, somehow. I have no idea why.
It does look a lot like a pair of tongs; I'm sure some people would like to see it put in a fire
Blimey. I'm not sure whether that's silly, awful or the best thing since sliced hard-boiled egg. It looks properly uncomfortable to play sitting down though.

Used to work with Mary Christmas... it was her married name so she only had herself to blame!

And her husband!
Two of my relatives are trying to sell harps (separately); both instruments are professional-quality. Neither has been able to find anywhere sensible to do so. Any ideas, please? Thanks
There were quite a lot of Italian violin/viola basses made in the 60s (Eko, IIRC, and others), and I think some Bulgarian-made ones. Could it be one of those?
