Well Dave many years ago when my waist was narrower, I was much quicker than I am now. Ha ha ha, I crack myself up!

That's a well-put thought there, Link - the mystery and faith thing.
Kevin - <speechless> :-)
I think you're right John about the 'quick response'. There used to be quite a bit of talk about the desirability of QR, and it was used as a selling point, but I've never really gotten the point.

No waist at all - give this 1:33 when she starts to cook. Right into a mic.
And the bracing is some big secret.

That is not a simple instrument to make. I'm watching a video (in chinese, dangit) that shows the process of making it - no specs though - and it looks like the channel that Taylor uses for more flexible tops has been used by Chinese for a thousand years :-)
The rim btw is made of 6 bent pieces of wood, joined with finger joints and obviously no kerfing is needed!

It was fascinating Dave. Thanks. (Talk about a scalloped fret board ...)
