google (delrin sheet) is faster and lighter than that hoary old leg-shimming monster of a book, the following looks interesting to me - http://www.fortepiano.com/plectra_files/sheets.htm > Thanks for the tip, I'll try. Somebody else came up with cow's bone. Why > cow and not, say, sheep, pig or - why not - ancestor or slain enemy? the heavier the critter the denser the leg bone. Beef stew meat is one way to get cow leg bone, but see the butcher first if you have one available, those supermarket bones are cut a bit short for my taste. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
