I'm only suspicious for the benefit of others. We have had what appeared to be a few "phishing" for email addresses here recently. I do feel much better if someone actually engages in some conversation before dropping a blind request for info.
My mommy told me not to talk to strangers....
I'm in the same category with Mingulay, sort of. I do have the world's greatest tub, and it goes to all the festivals we visit (going on about 14 years now); but I found I don't have that great an ear for playing it so it usually gets "borrowed." Being a little unconventional, it would take considerable thought to fit anything meaningful into the questionaire.
For mudcat friends, mine's the one on the right here. The guy playing grabbed it when he broke a banjo string - and was much better than I could have been. The "somewhat inferior" (with a grin) other tub was a brand new one - of more conventional design, but the 3 basses were pretty evenly matched - and quite "musical."
