I want to tell everybody who has contrubuted to this thread, how proud I am to be in the company of so many wonderful people who share my love and appreciation for these fine instruments. This thread is a treasure, and you good people have made it that way. I have difficulty finding the words to express how much I appreciate your input.

I also want to thank Skipjack K8, who has provided me with some very helpful advice, although much of it is not on this thread.

I hope more people will feel inspired to post to this thread, and if they do, I'll probably have more questions. In the meantime, I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks.

Much love to all,

Carol
