Folks, I brought my gongs to practice the other day and that generated some interest. The ocassion reminded me of a wesite dedicated to making and modifying musical instruments. The fellow is not a luthier, but that doesn't stop him from making stuff, hurdy gurdies, basses, bagpipes, violins, etc. For those who may want to see what can be done with a little time and money. http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/ A big win on his website is that he has sorted out the items into categories. That wasn't the case the last time I looked! Have fun! Sandy
