maybe he had a sor pinky ... where can i see the drawing of this thimble like contraption for the little finger? i picked up the habit of placing my little finger on the sound board of my first guitar and have continued doing so with every instrument i play - can't help myself. .. except the charango: because of its 1/8th size (?) i can hook it into the space between the bouts for extra support without dampening down on the volume. i assume this is the taboo associated with errant pinkies. - bill "and thus i made...a small vihuela from the shell of a creepy crawly..." - Don Gonzalo de Guerrero (1512), "Historias de la Conquista del Mayab" by Fra Joseph of San Buenaventura. go to: http://www.charango.cl/paginas/quieninvento.htm ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
