I'm going up to Seattle next week for a harmonica seminar. Hey, it's just blowing, sucking and using my tongue...so I should be pretty good at it, right?

I did a fair amount of work on bassoon. I always liked them and later on in life I found they were used a lot in cartoons for background music.
Has the weather gotten any better where you are. We are having a cold spring and lots of snow. We will not see melting on St Pats day.
The L2000 in the picture is beautiful. I suspect it is a Cherry Burst that has aged perfectly. The necks just get better with age. The pie looks delicious, apple being my favorite.-- Darwin.

One other thing...I noticed the way your upright is leaning in the corner. That can cause the neck joint to separate over time. My son's bass teacher is rebuilding one that that happened to.
