It was great going to the celebrati0on in New Hartford. Seeing Al and Mark; having the guys come over and chat with us (I pumped them for as much information as I could "we have plenty of that stuff"). The concert itself was perfect; seeing these professional musicians in such a small venue is always a treat, and boy, did those instrumernts sound good. We will be getting top quality instruments from that factory.

   And as not to clog up the board with my threads, I'll double up this one. An update on the 1778. John said it was a big job; take the neck off, sand it down, refinish and reattach it. I gues it will stay the way it is.

 And here's the video. Excuse the recital/student quality of the performance. I hope you all enjoy it anyway.
