After such a cold boring week I had to share this. A lady called a while ago and needed a "String" to repair her antique Cheese Slicer. I gave her a .011 stainless string. I am anxious to see how long it lasts.Maybe we can salvage our old broken strings and make cheese slicers. I forgot to ask if the cheese was SHARP or EXTRA SHARP. Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works.

Ed....was it a Push-Pull or an All-Pull?
Hope those .o11's last longer on a cheese Slicer.

I think it was a ALL PUSH the way she demonstrated it.This will probably make an antique with a broken string increase in value by 400%. Maybe it will be on ANTIQUE ROAD SHOW on TV.ED

Hey Ed,
Did you tell her to tune it straight up 440 or did you tell her to temper tune it?
