lowering pitch for bass bridge repair

[Tom Dickson]

Congrats, Steve,

   The tilter is a great investment.  I bought mine when I took over another 
fellow's business 10 years ago.  It's great for caster work and CA work in 
clients' homes.  It is also terrifc when doing refurbishing in the shop.  In 
your case it's the gift that keeps on giving!

Sincerely,
Tom Dickson,
Regina,SK, Canada
