The people best able to help on this are Marty Roenigk, Nancy Fratti,
and Reg Smith.  My thoughts on the Stella.  I personally would not own
one because of the propensity to break teeth;  they sound very nice, but
because of the disc and tooth design, there is a propensity to break
teeth.  I have seen a Stella with 20 broken teeth and it costs about $40
$45 to replace a tooth, and it must be done by an expert.  The Jacot and
Son is the dealer.
