There is an excellent guitarist by the name of Bruce Dunlap in Santa Fe, NM who was selling an Austuris 10 string some time ago I'm not sure if he has sold it or not.  Although unfortunatly it's a 10 string (fish nor fowel) you might be able to find someone to add one more bass string, and turn it in to a complete musical instrument.
