didn't intend to spark off an argument. Still very intrigued by this instrument and its possibilites. After I tried it in the store, I tried one of the new avalons and it felt beautiful in comparison - like back to planet earth.

do you play slide at all penny black. I didn't think to take a slide to the store and try out the open tunings - dobro settings etc.
Also I'd be interested in anybody using it as a solo rather than an ensemble tool.

Many thanks to anybody who has replied
