Soundboard Size Perspective

[Farrell]

Sounds cute, but I don't sell M&Hs, so I would not be interested. Is this something you are trying to help the guy sell? I could ask the local M&H dealer if this is a favor you are trying to do for someone. Otherwise, I always try to have a very good reason to visit this dealer!
