Hi Alan,
I've spent a good deal of time on the project and artwork since our last emails and initial mock up a in mid-Feb. Oliver sent me some better pictures than I had, and confirmed the sharps and flats were really there!
Then, I found a photocopy of the actual inlays in the bass. We didn't take a picture, but the strings were loosened and the bass was placed right on the glass of the old Xerox to get some images. These were really great to get some of the details.
What I found was the inlays were not up to the standards that we have now. Even Oliver agrees that especially the sharp symbols were pretty poorly done. This won't be true for yours!
I think you'll see a full mockup by the 28th. One thing I haven't heard back from you - do you want the joke note replicated, or do you want all the proper notes in their proper places?
