The pricing might be attractive to a Japanese collector. Or not. Too high for the rest of the world.

I was once told that it was cheaper for a Japanese businessman to fly to the UK to play golf than it was to join a Japanese club...

I wish the BaCHbirds had the belly cutaway like the originals

The first series of the BaCHbirds had the bellycut. I have no idea why BaCH changed that.

I know the second 30 (10 white, 10 black, 10 blue) had the bellycut, but did the very first 20 all white ones have them too?
