<br>But I'll rebuilding the butts with Ecsaine. According<br>to Bob at Pianotek, it is less fricative than<br>buckskin, but he hasn't quite convinced Tokiwa to use<br>Ecsaine on the upright butts yet ( like they do on the
<br>grand knuckles ). As I'm dunking the butts in<br>SuperClean, and rinsing, they'll be good and wet, and<br>the shanks will just pull out. Then I'll dry them on<br>nylon hardware cloth from the garden section at
<br>Lowe's, with 1/2 inch mesh, stretched over a frame,<br>and then refelt, etc..<br><br> Thanks!<br> G<br></blockquote></div>
