---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment These are very old and have been beat up as would be expected in a university environment. The last real overhaul was about fourteen years ago, I am told. There is even talk about possibly trading both of them in for one nicer one, who knows. At any rate these have those awful oblong tuning pins that require a Handle. At the very least I am going to have those replaced with square pins. I know I could restring the things myself and probably make some other major improvement. Truth be known I really don't want to do it. I like the idea of someone else being tortured. I've had enough past experience with these things! Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV "To a five-year-old with a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
