I am reluctant to inherit a lemonThanks a lot,Amy. Any Beales made after 1976 are imported and rebadged. If it is an older Australian made one, then it has the unique iron tuning system, which is both good and bad.

Mark Blanco, a 30-year-old actor, died in 2006 after plunging 11 feet (3.4 m) to his death from a first floor balcony outside Roundhill's flat in east London after being ejected by Roundhill. Blanco, who had been drinking, had allegedly become physically aggressive towards Doherty, a fellow guest.[9] During the altercation before he was ejected, Roundhill, who had been smoking crack cocaine[10] took Blanco's hat off and set it alight, allegedly in an attempt to distract him away from the singer. Doherty and Roundhill were interviewed by police, and neither were considered suspects in Blanco's death.[9] More recent findings indicate that Blanco may have been pushed from the balcony, and his family is attempting to get the police to investigate the case again.[11][12]
Singer/songwriter Paul Cunniffe also died in a fall from Roundhill's flat in August 2001. Roundhill claims to have no memory of that incident.[13]

He pleaded guilty to the offence and received a 12-month conditional discharge.[14] He was recently living at a Salvation Army rehab centre by Canary Wharf but after relapsing several times he was asked to leave by the centre management.
