Yeah, well 'Spaw, I guess I fell right into that one. I did mean to say strings attached to instruments, or instruments which need a lot of strings, rather than industrial quantities of strings not yet attached to any instruments, except in the conceptual sense, i.e. they are attached in your mind to instruments you plan to build. But you get credit - as always - for the lateral thinking and wit you display in asking the question.
