[LUTE] Re: El Gordo

[G. Crona]

Caroline,

I remember what Gorilla Snot is, and your good experience with it, although 
not available in Europe, but unfortunately it says in the main frame, two 
pages before the one posted, that it really is for strings. The detail even 
shows a string. Lovely realism - great expressions - fantastic painting!

Clearly, the box is for Gorilla Snot.

Box for spare strings?
