I tuned her up and thought to my self "I know a few tunes that I can play without my ring finger" and proceeded to try to play them.......the lil bugger has a mind of it's own and feels it owns certain positions! After whacking it with my middle finger or whacking it on the fret board I gave up in pain. I'll see if I can record a friend of mine on it this weekend:)

Hi Keith; sounds great!
I'm hearing a very pleasant and intriguing 'harpsichord' character in the tone.
I like it a lot. Congratulations!
