Hi Bob,

As inlaid initials go this one is one of the nicer ones. Yes you are correct, Derrick had the concept of incorporating a bass clef into it. Since I had been sick for the last three weeks and didn't want to delay any orders, it's hard to draw with your head pounding. I sketched out what I had in mind and gave it over to Mike to make the fine line drawing for Mica to photoshop.

I totally see and agree with the Fred Astaire/ Ginger Rogers dance image, I can almost see the dip and floating chiffon skirt.

BTW- thanks for the props.

Hey Valentino or Mica,

Just wondering about the progress of the bass. The last I heard the inlay was in and the bass was back in spray. It must be pretty close. Also, wondering about an ETA.

Thanks,
-Derrick

Derrick,

Your instrument is being worked on as I type. It could possibly be ready for shipping by Friday or early next week. It looks great.

Oh my!!! Thank you so much for the update Susan. I'm so excited. I catch myself daydreaming about it all the time. I don't normally dream when I sleep, but recently I have having wonderful dreams about this beautiful instrument. It probably isn't healthy thinking about it this much. This is my first Alembic, so I'm sure you all understand how I am feeling right about now. Anyway thank you for the update, can't wait to hold it and play it.
