I wish I could remember who said this, but someone said to me "It's not a wrong note, it's just a passing tone."
Some days, I play a lot of passing tones.

I saw the same thing. A bit odd, considering all the ES-335 and LP lookalikes out there. Although maybe Gibson sent others C&D letters, too.
Also interestingly, Stew Mac also sells "S style" and...
And to be even fogey-er, I believe that what the devices are attempting to stop is the sympathetic vibration of strings above the nut/below the bridge, rather than harmonics or overtones.
My violin case didn't come with a bag, but it does have a blanket, silk on one side and plush on the other. And the case has a cover. Go figure.
I've been using a ThermaPro temp/humidity gauge for several years and have been pretty pleased with it. It tends to stay within +/- 5% points or so as compared to a sling psychrometer.
ThermoWorks...
The covers look pretty nice from the outside. Would appreciate some interior pics as well.
I only have a cover for one of my cases, although these days I don't travel with an instrument much...
Yeah, I agree, although for me, it's also the steel string guitar. That's my primary instrument.
I the event of an EMP, and/or "the big one," I too have a 440 tuning fork. And a log log duplex slide rule. Unless & until then, I like the convenience of electronic tuners. 😹
Wow, sounds like some QC, or possibly "open box" issues?
I have a bunch of different tuners, clip-on, standalone and software (Android & MSW). I like the Stroboclip for its multiple modes,...
That is really spectacular! Congratulations on assembling the quartet. I would love to be able to see (and maybe play?) them in person.
At a quick glance, it seems like just an odd camera angle or shadow. But then you look at it, and... Yowza.

Osteoarthritis here. Ibuprofen helps, but I don't like the potential effects on the liver. My doc recommended Voltaren, but it's toxic to cats, and I have 4, plus work at a cat shelter, so that's a...
Look for synthetic core strings, or gut. Dominants are sort of a standard for violin (as opposed to fiddle), & some folks really like them. I prefer Pirastro, but as usual, it's a personal choice.

It's a little tough to tell with the angle of the photos, but it seems a bit high to me, and as noted above, it looks like the bridge is adjusted as low as it goes.
If the instrument is otherwise...
That is so very cool!
I also like the flat tops with the wound A string for my Weber Vintage F. They just sound the best on that mando. I am down to my last set of them; once they go on, I will need to look for something...
Two thoughts: Could you just ask the person you bought it from? Unless his/her ownership was so brief that the strings weren't replaced. Or the person your seller bought it from?
Second, comparing...
Thanks for the detailed and interesting explanation of these odd devices.
I know very little about 3-D printing, but it seems like that might offer the best way to make a replacement for the...
I have used a Gripmaster, which seems similar to the Varigrip, for years. The Gripmaster comes in various strengths. It helps developing finger grip strength and exercising fingers for flexibility....
Strings & Beyond, Juststrings & D'Addario all seem to have the set in stock. As does Amazon.
Or <shudder> a banjo.
Happened to me.
Don't understand why folks do this. I've had people come up to me on the street, in a train station, in a park, while setting up for performance, etc., and ask to play my...
Seems like a lot of tempest in a teapot. (But, I'm responding... And, my screen name. So... )
Nice! Great looking, and it sounds like you have bonded quickly.
Also like the stand. Where did you get it?
Well, I would like to hear from someone who has tried it as well. Arthritis in my thumb joints has made it harder to turn tuning pegs without pain. I have modified a peg winder to help with tuning,...
