Thanks everyone

Strings are labella flat wound. With those strings, the sound is close to a double bass.

I think he was making a mickey of your typo; "on its one" instead of "on its own." Get it? if it has good ones, it must have good twos and threes.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Sitting here listening to Alain Caron's Conversations album and am totally blown away by his tone. That's such a wonderful sound!!!
What are the price of these wonderful babies and where do you get hold of them?
