My favorite type of acoustic guitar strings, Phosphor Bronze!
Martin?
mu-sic-o mu-chord-o (makes my brain hurt-o)
Martin Lifespans are my favorite strings, and they do last just as claimed.
The set of John Pearce strings I tried several years ago were great, too.
Hey, boys and Contessa! My pottery is at auction. 
Early 20th Century Design, 21 January 2021 < Auctions | Rago Auctions
Look at Lot 224 - I have one of those tables; bought several years ago in Columbus. It's sitting next to the C. 1908 Gustav Stickley 354 1/2 I bought a week before finding the same era Gustav Stickley 604 at that shop. The V-back chair was found at a local dealer here that I am friends with (I have bought several pieces from him over the years, the first being our 1912 Gustav Stickley 819 sideboard). In the past several months this summer, I bought a Charles Stickley 1599 trestle library table (1909-1917), a mid 1920s J.M.Young & Sons 494 settle, and that very early 1900s wall sconce, from him, that I restored and posted photos of, recently.
During the summer we stopped at another regional antiques mall we frequent, where we picked up a C. 1912-1917 L. & J.G. Stickley 816 armchair.
Gustav Stickley 604 & 354 1/2, and a mid 1920s Bradley & Hubbard lamp.

Do you use actually this furniture...or is it an art piece?

One wonders how many others whiteboard ideas on Zoom from their bed, or from the loo. Actually, that's not a good thing to be wondering about.
Or conference calls where undressed people should never stand up in front of the camera.

Bon chance!
.... and (nearly) completely unrelated .... Last evening I attended a virtual toast to the new year with some 40 classmates of my undergraduate alma mater. What is related is it is at this fine institution where I ̶e̶a̶r̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶d̶e̶g̶r̶e̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶g̶a̶m̶m̶o̶n̶ am christened La Contessa. A series of completely innocent events begins with an invitation to join Georges on his night shift at a radio station. There is an empty broadcast room, a typewriter, an oscilloscope, a microphone, a "The Stripper" by David Rose LP, and a cursory inquiry the following morning from the local constabulary.

In case anyone was on the fence on whether Yoko Ono had any talent, please watch the video.
There are bonus points if you make it all of the way through.
And go read the comments on the YouTube video. Hilarious!
The comments WERE hilarious! Made the video worth clicking on (notice that I didn't say "watch all the way through"). What I did hear sounded like Wild Stallyns first rehearsal!

I don't know...
Throw some leather straps on the chair and add some electricity....
You might want to check your chair for an electrical outlet....

It all gets used as furniture. We're too cheap to buy this stuff and not use it!
Not on the Stickley, but I may peruse the auction and see what I can't live without. The Ohr pieces are worth a few buck, eh?
Looks like a nice sturdy chair. You could probably throw it across the room and it will hold up just fine.I don't know...

I thought the same. He was quite prolific. Normally volume dilutes the price.
I was wondering where I saw that before.I don't know...

I feel further clarification of the events might not put me in exactly the best light
when nothing happened 
except one absolutely, and completely unexplainable event. What remains is the nickname, and I'm not entirely sure of how it is we come by nicknames, then?
Was your nickname "Martini".....I feel further clarification of the events might not put me in exactly the best light

It is by the events I rather sketchily describe that lead to my christening as "La Contessa".
