..a salty air question..

[Jeannie Grassi]

Hi Phil,
    This sounds like the string cover that LaRoy Edwards makes. They are
very nicely made.  I have not found any customers interested in buying one,
but I am told by technicians who have used them that they are quite
effective.  LaRoy says that it cuts down on the volume a little bit, but
most people adjust to that quickly.
