Re: Re: Carbon fiber strings

I can agree with the beauty of the bass, and I'm not sure how R. got the impression that I was suggesting a certain pitch for a certain guage (and I'm not sure what that means). One can go as long as one wants on fretted courses, just make a longer neck and more frets - and if your arm is too short

Re: Panmure

Hi Roland - Yes, it is great music, isn't it. My collection (which is out of print now) represents about half of that manuscript, the rest is in the flat tuning. It is just as nice. You can get a microfilm from the National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1EW Scotland,

Re: Re: Re: Carbon fiber strings

Agreed. For my purposes, tuning stability and a tone quality that's compatible with the treble strings is more of a concern than length of sustain in the bass. Eric Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- On Wed 01/26, Arto Wikla < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Arto Wikla [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
