Hey, there's I dealer I know in Boston who sold one of those "sparkling vibrato" affects to a customer under the name "European Tuning". She insisted on it ever since. She actually complained when another tuner left her with clean unisons - it sounded "dead" to her. I was called to "fix" that - she asked me if I knew "European Tuning". I asked her where she got that from - and she told me the name of the dealer. Knowing the guy's reputation, on a hunch I fuzzed up a few unisons - and she said "perfect - just like when I bought it". I never went back there again... Israel Stein
