Martin Gibson..."What's the big deal about making something that's easily obtainable and designed for the job?" Not a BIG deal really, just a simple plan, I'm cheap, a long way from credible retailers who sell such things, and get some pleasure from do-it-yourself projects. Don't I wish I could just hop uptown to the nearest banjo shop and get what I want! But alas, that would be hours away at highway speeds. Mail order requires money, and God knows I like Elderly. I make a sustainable living as a small town folk/blues musician, but I do it by doing for myself where I can. Being handy helps, and I get some satisfaction from it. That's all it is for me...don't know about others.

For what it's worth.

Peace, Mooh.
