This is my dad's band, check the bass, it's the same idea but with a wooden box. The bas player had a Schaller tuning key installed on the 'neck'
Wicked!

I've just been looking round that site and my norton antivirus software advised me that it had intercepted a virus that had been downloaded to my pc.

Hmm...thanks for the info. What does that mean, exactly? Could it have been coincidental, or does that imply there's specifically a problem w/ those pages?

JV; did you get a virus from the balloonbass link?  If you did, let me know; I'll edit the post so that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
