---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Kevin, I had re read your post yesterday, and went searching for some note's that I had made after a conversation with Harold Conklin, (25yrs ogo) I'm a pack rat. The woven bushing felt was put there to reduce resonant interaction from the plate and string. Behind the note I put a series of question marks. Not sure if I understood, or was just sceptical. Just some extra trivia. Roger At 08:23 PM 26/10/00 -0700, you wrote: > > OK, I've read most of your posts, and I need some clarification.
