No. I was reacting to whatsisnames rudeness. Some members react un-welcoming-ly to lutherie topics. While always point out to our dear readers that they are certainly encourage to zone out while we discuss something important, some will complain about that. There are many that would like to make the list completely useless. We could be sharing tunes (for example), but the .abc format got about 7 minutes (metaphorically speaking, of course). So. You are welcome, whether you feel like it or not. Please be aware that just because the shoe fits, you may wear it, but you needn't feel like you have to... Anyway, welcome to the HG list and "make ya sef at home. > > I want to share my experience building Graeme's Jiri from scratch ... Oh yes, please do and > learn from the experienced builders here.

As mentioned, I had never seen nor heard one when I built mine. I found it in a book and just had to know ... So I built one, with help from some "members", although there wasn't a list yet when that started. At the time, that's all that mattered, so I took the name ... So, yeah, I know the bug. And once again, to everyone else; If you're not interested in luthierie or actual music, feel free to skip over ... and Tim, we do encourage you to place a caveat at the beginning of your messages, just to clear out the 'lightweights". We never had a system for people that want to discuss actual boring or trivial topics (i.e. non-lutherie, & non-actual HG music performance). (Too bad, folks, This is the HG list, not the ET list. Didn't the lack of a trumpet sound byte clue you in?) Love and Kisses to all. Roy T (the HG troll) Look forward to hearing from you. > > > > > On Oct 17, 5:40 pm, maesoph <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear All: > > > > Per your advice, I have contacted Hurdy Gurdy Crafters and am quite > > pleased with the responses from Mel and Ann there.
