hey girl ...
the gurdy is wonderful... a bit robust i put a cello mute on it for when mary is around. funny it doesnt sound that loud to me! *L* but the mute also gives it a nice mellow tone for some tunes softens it a wee bit... so it will always ride behind the bridge flips on and off very easily... i love the option of 4 drones and i do love the D/G tuning. the mouche and the petie B seem a bit loud but then again i am right on top of it playing and can not here how it sounds as the tones open up. you need to stop over and play it for me... so i can hear it across the room. all and all mel makes a great instrument. i put some "dunlap strap locks on it (nice black color goes well with the ebony. a few day after i orderd them i had it straped on and did not check the front mounting button ....when i stood up it let loose everything was in slow motion as it fell top first towards the floor....i do not even know how i did it but some how i got my arm around and under it and snagged it before it hit... it was a great save but wow scarey!!! but now the strap locks are on and it is secure!!! i would highly recommend them to anyone here. so glad you are back felicia my best to william well there is a peep for ya ... peace jim Grey Aengus (aka Jim)http://www.greyaengus.com often in error, never in doubt --- On Fri, 3/20/09, Felicia Dale <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Felicia Dale <[email protected]> > Subject: [HG-new] Re: Hi from returning subscriber > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, March 20, 2009, 11:31 PM > Hi! > How's that new gurdy?
