<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> I think this is just great Terry. Gotta admit your progress the last couple years is impressive as all get out, and a fine example to us all. Forresten... Could you send me a full sized picture of this so I can see the details a bit more clearly ? Cheers and congrats !!

Note loose foot along bottom of board and generous cut-off sections in upper left (quite a bit larger than original), in lower right (original dimension) and partial cut-off of sorts (or maybe better described as a cross-over - think component stereo speakers) - Del's patented Z-bar, which follows the curve of the two Z-bar cap pieces seen in the central right-hand area of the board (extending up and to the right of the tenor end of the bass bridge). Note also how this picture turned out. It was taken with a flash, and I was pointing directly/squarely toward the board. I thought this would not turn out because I expected the flash to light up the whole soundboard into just one bright light - but the darn soundboard has so much curvature that the flash was reduced to the small bright spot in the middle! Pretty cool. <img SRC="cid:part1.3EDBC584.DB94D0C5@grieg.uib.no" ALT="" BORDER=0 >   </blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
