Tell us something.: I play traditional Irish and Scottish music.
"The beginner should approach style warily, realizing that it is an expression of self, and should turn resolutely away from all devices that are popularly believed to indicate style — all mannerisms, tricks, adornments. The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity."

You lucky ... fella. Loving the Sobell and the Paragon!

My recently acquired, used but minty, cast brass tailpiece enhanced, Trinity College bouzouki! About to get a heel strap pin and setup from my local tech; eventually I am thinking of swapping out the nut and saddle and going for unisons in the 2 low courses.
