<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=-1>The colour, was it the customer's
wish?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The colour scheme was my idea. At first he was a but of a =
sceptic, since
the first drafts looked somewhat akin to Robin Hood and his merry men. =
But
once we got down to the darker shades he could see that it would look =
quite
classy. The idea of finishing off-the-gun with a satin finish is again =
to
reduce the cost. Musicians and Conservatoriums don't care if their =
studio
instruments don't have a gloss finish. So why should we inflict the =
finishing
cost upon them?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have looked at other colour combinations for a satin finish. I =
have
another which I would like to try. The case is coffee coloured, while =
the
plate is a light metallic blue with royal blue felt. I think it looks =
quite
amazing on colour cards, and in the right setting it could really =
work.</DIV>
