Beautiful work.

They use a product called Lacquer-Stiks for filling the script on golf clubs. Works very well and easily. Lasts a long time. Cheap. Available at Golfworks(dot)com

The coments are quite fun.

Reese: I have to add that my Millennium bought 12-02, SN 11, is still as smooth as the day I received it. Any product "rushed to market" would have disapointed by now. It seems to me that the changes are icing on the cake rather than correction of a flaw,as implied by Mr. Boggs. M-1, M-2, ...

Howard R. Mr Johnson is right about Workers' Comp. My last rate was .102827
A $3000 per month payment would cover an annual payroll of $350,102.60 which around here would barely pay 8 skilled workers.
Just love the government.

Don't look for any sympathy from a professional violinist. 4G is entry level for a good bow. A talented student will spend about 30-40 G for a setup that will take them through school to a major orchestra. after that the sky's the limit. I might also add: as professional equipment goes, the last mac...

Another dictionary, Dictionary of American Slang,(1960 edition) has the 1957 origin credited to "For Cool Cats and Far-Out Chicks" by E. Horne. entry is "Axe - any musical instrument, even a piano." then adds "far-out and beat use; not common." As these things cite firs...

Consider the first fret construction. A proper tangent to the circle through the intersection of the nut perpendicular and the circle would be a line paralell to the base line. What is called the "tangent line" is better named a "construction line". The construction will leave a ...

I received my Millenium Dec,02. and have had quite a while to weigh the purchase. Absolutely NO regrets. A fine instrument and a fine company to deal with.

Try closing all programs using Task Manager (ctrl+alt+delete). End all tasks except Systray and Explorer. At that point it will not be necessary to be in safe mode. Defrag will sometimes appear to stop but it is really just sorting. BTW it is a good idea to end all but systray and explorer when inst...

The samples seem to lack the warmth of ET Certanly a unique sound.

Bill: Though freeing you from ridicule, I must expose myself to the same. In the topic sentence,-is misnomered- is a transitive verb phrase in the past perfect tense, not an adjective as I hastily stated in your defense. I defend my self by stating that I haven't studied grammar in 35 years so the i...

Bill: The OED has the use of misnomered as an adjective starting in 1740. I think you are on good ground.
I just call it a pedal steel. Nobody knows what I am talking about any way, and adding guitar to the name doesn't help.

Rick: we were thinking at the same time.
Dead on.

I think some violin lessons may help here: Greg: Yes, the vibrato goes sharp first then flat then back to pitch, one of Rick's waves. This wave can be wide, narrow, fast, slow in any combination. Violinists learn to use all of them. Whatever sounds best. Usually low notes are wide and slow and high ...

I notice that the plastic pad did not melt so I don't think the springs were ruined by the heat. Were it mine I would dissassemble everything, clean everything, then decide what parts were needed. A little buffing will go a long way. You can get boxes of cap screws at someplace like McMaster-Carr fo...

Larry: If you have a mouse with the wheel on it, put the cursor over the text, and you can hold the control key down and roll the mouse wheel to shrink or enlarge the text. Works on most web pages.

Dennis: There is a product called "Milsek Furniture Polish and Cleaner" Made by the Milsek Co Petersburg, OH (330)542-2700 This product does NOTHING but clean. It will not damage any wood finish. Use it on my violin and piano with no ill effects. A rare product in that it is both safe and ...

I concur; There have been many tunes that I would like to purchase but without even a hint it is impossible. Some one is losing sales here! Gripe aside, thanks for the music.
