I like the novel method of bow storage as well...

Anyway, this one doesn't seem to have the same meanspirited intent as the other one, so I'll leave it open until and unless it does. Remember that it's a small world out there, folks, and getting smaller every minute.

Then there is me who used chapstick for rosin when I was 10 and at the same time tightened up my german bow to look like a ..well.. incredibow, you can imagine the results....

How about the guys to squeeze elmer's into gaping seams/cracks and shove the bass back into the trunk only to find it has glued itself to the foam in the trunk... resulting in a bass that appears to be molding!! |
