    Re: Lyon and Healy mandocellos

    At the first step, when I clicked "choose file", it didn't give me the shortcuts, it gave me a file list.

    Re: Finally, a Lyon & Healy Set

    Hmmm. I don't own any other L&H instruments but I know others who have one. Perhaps I can check them. In any event, if I am correct and there is a unique set of serial numbers for the L&H MCs, AND,...
