Qucik, hide 'Spaws litter box so he can't turn it over and use it as a sopabox to lecture us on the different categories of Chordophones. If we hurry it might only take us an hour or so to pack up our multitude of strings, tuners, etc etc.

Just kidding, 'Spaw. That set of definitions is interesting, *and* I'm still awake.

Canberra Chris,

I assume this means you are in Oz? I'm in Newcastle NSW. I have met a couple of Canberran harper-ists, and I am planning to check out a lap-harp there as a possible purchase in the next month or so.
