Hey, Art, yes, it's me. I'm pretty sure it was a left-handed Merlin, though it's possible it was right-handed and she was trying to learn to play it lefty. I don't think so, though. Merlins had, as I recall, tuners with a 32/1 ratio, so it took till next Tuesday to bring a string up to pitch. When you're used to friction pegs (ratio of 1/1), that was quite a change. Bob Clayton ... and Jennifer's OK. So's Andrew, whom you may have never met (he's somewhat antisocial, and 13 now, so there goes even more in terms of being outgoing).
