Well David, it was great to attach a face to a forum name! I wish we could have spent more time but work is work. Too bad I couldn't convince you to make a string. We could have had an arts and crafts class going.
I certainly hope you enjoy the jig and strings. I think you are good for a few years. You have but to ask and I'll fire off a string.
You mentioned a comment about the strings. In what way are they better?
