you know you're dealing with great people when CS responds to six of your emails in one day and then sends you your order the following day when it supposedly takes 9 to ship by ground.
brilliant people

I'm just about the opposite. I have 3 right now (decent enough), and I've been thinking for some time about letting go of the 2 I don't use as much to fund an upgrade.

Great to hear about the customer service.

Great to hear about the customer service. | This would seem to be the perfect time for that golden oldie "what does the word "arco" mean? - the last two notes of a ballad. |

| | No Longer Works a Day Job | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: USA | | Yeah, the 2 times i've used were actually theater gigs though.  I've yet to use it on a jazz gig, if my memory serves correctly.
I think Christian McBride used the bow on a tune or two when he came here [Orchestra Hall @ Symphony Center] 2 years ago.
