Announcement:
On Feb. 2 we had a "brown-out", power surge, then lights out for about a minute.
Needless to say, the computer didn't like it very much at all! Shortly after
that, I noticed 3 months of old E-mail messages were gone. All messages between
Oct. 26 thru Feb. 2 have completely vanished!! (???) So if you tried to contact
me during January, I think I responded to most of you (and have your E addresses
in the "sent" folder) But if you haven't gotten a response back from me yet,
some of you dear potential customers will have to try and connect with me again.
Sorry about this. This is something that's Never happened before! (Ah...the
continuing wonders of Technology)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mandolin # 66 (An
F-5 Bluegrass model) is done!
Pics coming soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just about half way done building a kind of "hybrid" 10-String Hardanger
Fiddle.
I will also be posting photos of that as soon as its done...hopefully by the end
of February or early March.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This web-site will be up-dated more
often once my site control program is transferred over to the new computer. For
now, Thanks for being patient with the infrequent updates. (And I'll try
to get back to each and every one of you and answer E-mail questions too, as
soon as I can) There will also
be video clips of each instrument currently available, too in the new Year!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DNR Field Work (Part 2) is done! Last year was great with some
cool surprises and a few new findings. Be sure and click on the Frog at
the top and that will take you to the latest info. (To be updated soon, too)
OK...That's it for now.
Keep checking in.
