Re: In Case You Missed It
Thanks Mark. Thanks Eric. Maybe some of the lack of activity on the forum was my letting the forum initialize and propagate itself rather than treating it like a new site. My snow cone thread was a bit of a tongue in cheek attempt to just getting some interaction going. At least some of you got humo...

Re: Temperature change
Ten degrees should not be any problem for wood. At least not unless the temperatures are less than 50F or greater than 80F. Ten percent change in humidity or even more for a few hours is again probably not a factor if in the sweet spot range between 40% RH and 60%.

Re: Virtuoso Cleaner and Polish on Collings i35lc Vintage
I am not a fan of polishes in general. A polish typically has fine abrasives (the white residue) in it to remove impurities and imperfections from a surface. If you have an old, non clear coated car a polish is a great help. For a fine guitar, I think it is not necessary. There are plenty of cleaner...

Re: I don't like snow cones.
I avoided the strawberry too! Maybe subconsciously we were avoiding the Red Dye #2 before we even knew it has bad health consequences.
When it was snack time, there were too many other better options than frozen shaved ice with some colored sugar on it.

I don't like snow cones.
I figured I would kick this forum off with a post that some will agree with but most won't. Change snow cones to another subject and let's see what shakes out. That is the spirt of those section. Just keep it civil please.

Re: Relief or no relief? What do you think?
You will probably get the purists saying that it has to be to the tenth of millimeter to be "correct" and you will get others that say to just play it. In the end I think both are correct. Each instrument is a little different hence the strings will behave a little differently. I have not ...

Re: Elliot Capo
It is not my intent to create controversy over these. All of these are good capos. It is a little difficult to see from the photo but there are two features that I like on the G7th. The biggest is the leatherette padding that lines nearly the entirety of the inside of the capo. This keeps metal from...

Re: Elliot Capo
Once you have used a G7th cap-o , you will not go back. They are very precise, conform to different necks, and really feel of quality. They may be a little more expensive but the materials and fit and finish are top rate. G7th on the left in the picture and the Elliot and Chub on the right. You can ...

Re: Music Therapy - Collings 01A
I have seen that people in these facilities respond well to things from their youth. It seems memories from early in their life often remain while those later are fleeting or gone altogether. The music that we often most passionate about is defined in our late teens and into our twenties. Find a top...
