It FEELS zippy when you listen to it one string and one string; but the
magic of a 3-string unison, tuned well, somehow mitigates the zippiness---in
other words, the 2 bps roll doesn't sound pronounced at all when it's in
context with everything else, and the quick 4ths and slow 5ths are
absolutely necessary---IMO--- for a concert-sounding, musical tuning.

Zippy is a good word, Alan....you win a fabulous parting gift....<g>
