Why?

[Kristinn Leifsson]

Hi Patrick,

do you write detective stories ? <G> Nice touch!

Sorry, we sell these instruments and I´m pretty sure I tuned it before it 
left the store.
But perhaps the bass strings were switched like you say, and had more 
elasticity in them.  Who knows!?

Thanks,

Kristinn
