[CAUT] Water Damage to Practice Room U1s

[Chris Solliday]

Bill ol' buddy,
same thing you get when you spend over $1,000. for  authentic Bosendorfer
strings and wait 6 months to get them from Austria. Original marketing as
Don has noted. Personally I prefer GC or Arledge depending on how much bite
you're lookin for. I like GC for Yamaha.
