Craig,

 Indeed. Um, you don't own any rocking chairs do you?

My cat solved the rocking chair problem, she springs to the seat and then to
the top, and rides the waves. But then she may be planning ahead about the
tails of any potential feline interlopers.

Best, Jon

 With all those cats you'll certainly have a nice repository for extra
 strings for the 13c.

Well, now I'm coming up with names for the little tykes, like Catline, 
Minikin and Chantrel (for the littlest one)...

I know this is going to get me into trouble.

Indeed. Once you start naming them it's harder to get rid of them. Hope there's 
plenty of room in your house for all those cats and lutes. Um, you don't own 
any rocking chairs do you?

[LUTE] Re: Ownership

2005-09-20 Thread Jon Murphy
Carl,

Congratulations on the litter, and for taking in the stray. I note that the
expected comments on lute string supplies have come in. My one cat (the vet
calls her dilute tortoise shell, I call her muddy grey) is a feral
refugee. Born in a friend's garage with littermates, but then taken back to
the woods by her mother, she returned to the warmth of the garage when she
was barely mobile. We took her on, but now I don't dare type or speak the
word cat gut (except that at the moment she is not looking over my shoulder
as she usually is when I type). Twelve pounds of  in shape feline, I don't
want to argue with her.

But for the list, I am getting comfortable with my first mold (a la D. van
E. instructions). A few more weeks and I'll start finishing the planing of
the ribs, and finally get up the guts to cut one to shape. The mold is the
key, as you all know. I love David's course, and it was fully worth it. But
for amateur shops I might suggest a different sequence in making the mold
than he uses (no knock on his way, just that he is well practised and I've
made my errors that one sees as one is in progress).

Take good care of the kittens Carl, find good homes. If you are anywhere
near NJ, USA we might consider a companion for our Lucky cat. You never look
for a cat, you wait for it to find you.

Best, Jon

yes; what makes it is the retro-style bridge.  closely
spaced wood grain on the sound board is a
consideration and i'm starting to believe that a truss
rod of some sort in the neck is an essential as well -
particularly for those carved from a single piece of
wood.  

maybe the new owner will discover early music ...
maybe they'll join the list ... maybe they'll propose
that the charango is a pukkah instrument for playing
said music ...

the glass is always half full.
