Understood. ;)

Now you're talking! This is the kind of thing I had hoped would be on the market. The idea of taking an electric uke and stringing it like a mandolin opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. ...

I love the Saga kit idea - I think that would be a lot of fun.

Oops, aren't I embarrassed - that's one of your own mandolins, isn't it? I was talking about taking a cheap mandolin and chopping it up; you are showing me a handcrafted work of art. If I tell you...
