I hafta say, you folks who are looking for self-tuning 6 and 12 strings are living the easy life and don't know it!! Try tuning a full-sized Celtic harp, and a hammered dulcimer with several strings on each course. Man, what I wouldn't **give** for self-tuning instruments!

Anyway, my fantasy instruments include a Bb bass clarinet with a low C extension (something to vibrate the neighbours outta their chairs), and an even bigger harp... custom carved, maybe... uh-oh! Harplust -- gotta go!
