Hi.

So???

When was the last time You checked up the population of China?

Their domestic market is skyrocketing and they need the € & $, so they export as much we are willing to buy.

Sam

Hi.

Well Bongo, I have a Djembe (at least it looks like a Djembe) that's ceramic, not actually china, true, but pottery anyway.

There's a few other percussion and stringed instruments out there that use various ceramics in various places.

Those are quite fragile though...

Regards
Sam

Methinks the real question is, 'How many trolls are there in New Mexico?'
