Thanks, Mrs. Duck:-) I would love to live close enough to borrow the smaller one, but can't justify the expense of moving and I don't think his mom would let me bring him all the way from Colorado to there.**bg** Appreciate the thought, a bunch, though.

Thanks, Jim. It will be fun to see how your little one and mine get on with these and other musical interests, eh? Right now he is pretty funny. He wants the big swooping sounds he's heard from me and the quick chops of double stops, so he's doing his best to use the whole bow or use short, quick strokes in the hopes of making a similar "noise.":-)
