This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello List and Arthur Marino Thanks for your comment. The swimming lesson went swimmingly, the violin = lesson went extremely well and as a result we went to Brighton and did = some shopping in the major complex there called "Churchill Square" Maxim = has just left his Primary school in order to go "privately" whre his = talents will, we hope, be noticed and built upon. Difficult to say when = he's only 6yrs old, but smaller class of 7 (seven) should give a better = Teacher:Pupil ratio than 26:1. We have High Hopes! We needed a "bespoke" = uniform as dictated by his "new" school. (Founded in 1512 - so older = than the square piano!) Yes, that string repair on the Astor & Horwood was remarkably neat. I = treat each of the two ends to be knotted in the same way by making them = resemble a long-tailed "Omega" . Then I bend the rounded end to about 45 = deg. before marrying the two into the well-known configuration of a = "Reef Knot". Mostly I do this for broken Bass covered strings in order = to preserve the integrity of the sound. I have even stripped back the = copper covering to give more available core without compromising the = tonal quality of a matched pair! Amazing what you can get away with when = you try! TTFN & Regards from a Moon-lit Sussex Downlands village.... Michael G (UK) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
