Grin, well if we were to assume there was a reason for falsification here, I think
we all agree you are far to bright to choose that particular one.  In anycase, my
comment was not at all meant to be taken in that direction.

You have the same problem then eh ?

I think that I expressed a sincere desire to see one of these instruments for
myself. Exactly because there are some apparently significant claims being made
that naturally enough raise ones interest.  I think we all have to live with the
fact that human kind have a large portion of the skeptic built in... both the
rational and irrational kind.

But to address what perhaps may make the discussion a bit easier, perhaps it WOULD
be a good idea to get a set of these Wurzens in Dels hands.... so we can be sure we
are talking on the same page about how much hammer hardness is needed to drive a
soundboard.

Cheers
