Did so ....sorry about that.
Did you sort out your networking problem? I still haven't added ram yet...haven't had time.
Why no time?...Been too busy relocating the various electronic goodies in my room
(two computers, amps, recievers, scanners, printers monitors, turntables etc.etc.)
What a friggin nightmare!!!
I decided today to enjoy my instruments....good choice....I feel tons better.
Completly dismantled my cello and reset the soundpost tailpiece and bridge...Then enjoyed the nightmare of retuning...I may have said it before but I'll say it again synthetics stretch a he11 of alot more than steel! Verrrry nerve-wracking!!!!
It was all worth it though as it sounds an awfull lot better...did you know that the length of the string behind the bridge is as crucial to the sound of members of the violin family as the string length from bridge to nut...I didn't until a week or so ago...when setting them up you are supposed to tune the "tailings" as well as the played portion of the strings...this is where alot of the harmonics that sweeten the sound live!!! (also where the wolves live...I now can't even force any of em to be heard! There were a couple of reeeeeeally nasty ones in the third and fourth possitions)
Also made a new pad out of snugg fitting tubing for my shubb....funny that thing has a lifetime warranty but you can't get replacement pads (the part that holds the strings) without ordering directly from the factory...Am I the only soul unfortunate enough to have the pad split?
After all of that it was time to play...I killed 6 hours...lots-O-fun!!!
Wrote some new tunes, enjoyed playing some old bluegrass standards, annoyed the he11 out of the kids
!!! The dog and the kitties seemed to enjoy it though
as they aparently decided it better to hang out with me all day than do whatever it is that they usually do whilst I putter about on the weekends.
