RE: String stretch
Well, if it's any consolation, that probably means you make a good, tight string--I've heard of some that, even though they were made from materials that have practically no stretch, kept settling in for weeks, even months. Heard about one that had the loop pull out completely, but it was on a super heavy-weight bow.
DVD should be ready in a week or two--if nothing goes wrong. Going to pick up the 4th "final copy" today or tomorrow--the last one had a tiny blurb in the music at the intro, and the guy producing it wouldn't have it--it has to be just right for him to release it.
I'll holler when it's ready.
